The Story

About This Movie

The Story is a unique piece that really captures a particular moment in early 2000s indie film. Cleve Lamison's work here has a certain rawness, almost like a home-movie vibe but with a narrative that pulls you in. Its pacing can feel a bit uneven, which oddly contributes to its charm—like you're watching the characters live their lives rather than acting out a script. The atmosphere is thick with a kind of quiet intensity, and while the performances might not be polished, they have a genuine quality that makes the emotional beats land. It leans heavily on practical effects, which gives it a tangible feel that you don’t see much in today’s digital-heavy landscape. Overall, there’s something about its authenticity that sticks with you.

The Story was released on DVD but remains somewhat elusive, making it a curious find for collectors. Its obscurity adds to its charm, but also means that copies don't turn up often, especially in good condition. There's a dedicated niche of collectors who appreciate the film for its authenticity and emotional depth, so it might gain more traction as interest in indie films from this era grows.
