Video Palace

“A Texas Teen Story” is a very personal contribution, as it chronicles first-hand the unexplained events Grant experienced in the ‘90s. It’s a story of obsession, cliques, power and music, with a focus on the social dynamics and potential for cruelty that are unique to teenage girls. Grant’s experience suggests that choices we make in our formative years may invite forces that haunt us the rest of our lives. You can join our quest to uncover the truth about the Eyeless Man.
