Creative comedy multi-hyphenate Greg Wolf wrote, directed and stars in the ten-minute short The Venmo Vanisher, a well-acted and incredibly funny parody of streaming-era true crime documentaries like The Tinder Swindler and Worst Roommate Ever.
Featuring reenactments with “hot actors,” the film follows Greg as he goes out for brunch with a few of his besties. While there, he strikes up an unexpected flirtation with Loine (Ian Peterson), an attractive casual acquaintance.
When Loine asks Greg to front the money for his portion of the bill, promising to Venmo him back later, the two end up in bed together.
Loine, however, disappears soon after, sending Greg on an obsessive, exhausting and deeply unhinged mission to track down this mysterious check-skirting mastermind and retrieve the two hundred dollars he’s rightfully owed.
Not only does his quest reveal delightfully absurd secrets, but it ends up altering the course of his life in ways he never could have imagined.
Watch a short teaser clip from The Venmo Vanisher below. The film is now available on Dekkoo.
