The purpose of film is storytelling, and the best of storytellers allow their listeners to see the world in a different way, to put themselves into the shoes of a character in the story, to insert themselves where they see fit.

In both “Greasy Lake” and “Life After High School” the protagonists are both subjected to external conflict that forever changes their course in life. With so much emphasis on the differences between individuals these days, it is imperative that people recognize this powerful commonality between the spectrum of humanity.

We wake up at specific times to go about our days and then we sit down at our dining room tables to eat at specified times throughout the day, usually habitually.
