| Style Wars |
| Hello, I am a filmmaker living in Long Beach, CA. Currently I am working on a short film that takes a comedic look at the underground world of tournment Scrabble. In addition to an all star cast, amazing locations and stunning cinematorgaphy, "The Summer of Sid" will feature a soundtrack composed by Sam Sitar which will be preformed by an award winning ensemble of musicains. |
| Style Wars is a serious documentary listening to four people talk about reasons teens belong to subculture groups and the meaning thay get from indentifying with particular cultures - is it just a style?. (2005, 5:40) "Drop it Like It's Hot Topic" is Grant's companion humorous mocumentary on the same subject. |

| Drop it Like It's Hot Topic |
| Grant got intersted in the small (to outsiders) distinctions that externally differentiate one teen subgroup from another - to tell a Hipster from an Scenester look for the presence/absence of a collar and the type of varing types of vintage cloths, for example. Both this deadpan humorous mocumentary and his serious documentary, "Style Wars" resulted. Among other segments, "Drop it" follows a Goth as he puts his makeup on in the morning at his suburban home and as he acquires the important objects of his counter-culture at a chain store in the mall.
