Introduction by Alexa Grecco for Thrifted (2025)

Thrifted (2025) Thrifted is a queer love story with a twist of time travel. When a young couple stumbles across a second-hand treasure, they’re pulled 70 years into the past — where one camera holds the truth, and the rest of us can only imagine.At its heart, Thrifted is about love that transcends time, and the small, everyday objects that hold extraordinary stories.

Alexa Grecco Director Statement"Thrifted was inspired by my own love for vintage cameras. Every time I buy anything secondhand, I wonder; where it has been? What story can it tell? If the camera could talk, what would it say? This short film answers those burning questions."

After making her on-screen debut in The Cat Sitter, Edie returns to High Grass Hideout Studios for her second project, A Haunting on Dyke Road.Through these experiences, she’s embraced every facet of the filmmaking process—from performance to production—discovering both her passion for storytelling and the occasional limits of her patience along the way. Director Statement - Edie EberhardtI grew up watching and loving 80's horror movies. I specifically was drawn to those that could evoke some type of actual fear in the back of my brain. I hope that the re-telling of something that happened to me on a dark road in the middle of nowhere can evoke that in at least a couple of viewers. Our actors put a lot of miles on that old truck and turned around in so many of our neighbors' driveways that we're lucky they didn't call the law. My hope is that our viewers remember this tale when they're on a dark, lonely highway. Don't stop, keeping going, and for goodness sake, DON'T TURN AROUND!!!
