Synopsis by Mark Deming
A dinner party turns out to have unexpected and unpleasant consequences in this darkly comic short subject from filmmaker Todd Luoto. Kole (Pat Healy) and Teresa (Michelle Lawrence) are a couple who have been invited to have dinner with some wealthy new friends, and they're surprised and a bit intimidated at how luxurious their home happens to be. When Michael (Corey Brill) and Samantha (Zeenath Shareef) reveal that their house has been featured in People magazine, it leads to a small but significant difference of opinion between Kole and Teresa. Later, when they're invited to enjoy Michael and Samantha's hot tub, Kole decides to reveal a supremely embarrassing secret after Teresa needles him about his inability to change the oil in their car. Oil Change was an official selection at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival.
