About This Movie

Greasy Lake is this intriguing short from the Discovery Program, weaving a tale of youth and recklessness. The story centers around TC, Digby, and Jeff, three intelligent 19-year-olds caught in a world of rebellion and self-discovery. The film's atmosphere is a blend of tension and nostalgia, capturing that restless feeling of youth perfectly. The performances by Stoltz, Spader, and West add depth, each character embodying different aspects of the adolescent experience. It’s like watching a snapshot of the complexities of growing up, layered with an understated tension that keeps you engaged. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to breathe, and that really enhances the overall tone. It’s distinct in how it portrays that sense of freedom and consequence, making it a compelling watch.
