The Groke: A Tragedy in Two Acts(2021)

The Groke: A Tragedy in Two Acts is a metafictional film that blurs the line between documentary and narrative storytelling. Mae von Camp's high school exists in the shadow of death, and as she matures, she becomes obsessed with documenting the darkness surrounding her. What begins as a personal project spirals into something far more complex and unsettling. Directed by Rachel Millena Saul over six years in collaboration with Jonah Barrett and Jacob David Earl, the film examines how we process grief and mortality through the act of creation itself. The soundtrack features contributions from local Olympian bands Offwhite Flag and Matty Cries, adding an indie sensibility to this haunting exploration of adolescence and obsession.
