Like many people, Australian film student Oscar Cousins loves the movie *Parasite*. But despite the film’s high audience numbers and accolades (including this year’s Academy Award for Best Picture), one subtitle-hater near and dear to him refused to watch it: his sister.

Unfortunately for her, a dubbed version of the movie doesn’t exist. But her brother wanted her to see it so badly that he embarked on what would turn out to be a seven-month-long project to make his own English dub of *Parasite*.

This involved enlisting his other family members, as well as friends and even a professional voice actor to help, as well as re-creating all of the film’s sound effects.

Cousins made a short YouTube video about his project. Whether or not you like his vlogging style, it’s a surprisingly insightful watch that gives a glimpse at what goes into translating and dubbing foreign-language films.

[Read on](https://www.indiewire.com/2020/07/parasite-finally-gets-english-dub-1234571284/) to learn more about Oscar Cousins’ amateur “Parasite” dub, see his making-of video, and find out if, after all that work, his sister ended up watching and liking the movie.

*In this screen grab from his *[*YouTube video*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0lpXI-aRko)*, Cousins and his family attend the “premiere” of his English-dubbed version of *Parasite.
