A few of the standouts of this year's fest include Tom Zuber's assured sophomore effort, "Little Athens." A disturbing and at times profoundly upsetting look at youth in an Arizona town, the film follows four stories that intersect at a climactic and disastrous house party and features assured performances from a group of young actors including DJ Qualls ("Hustle & Flow"), Jorge Garcia (TV's Lost), Shawn Hatosy ("Faith of My Fathers"), Michelle Horn ("Hostage"), Rachel Miner ("Bully"), Michael Pena ("Crash"), Jill Ritchie ("D.E.B.S.") who also happen to be Kid Rock's sister, and Eric Szmanda (TV's "CSI"), "Little Athens" firmly establishes Zuber and his co-writer and brother Jeff as talented filmmakers to watch.
