Little Athens

The Darwinian plight of a small Arizona town's
youthful but aimless population leads to a series
of strange confrontations in Lansdown director Tom
Zuber's slacker-themed slice of life. While trim-
and-tidy outward appearances give Little Athens
the illusion of calm tranquility, a look at the
life of the post-high school populace struggling
to make ends meet betrays first impressions. Over
the course of 24 hours, a revealing look at the
population of Little Athens reveals a paranoid EMS
worker named Heather (Erica Leerhsen), whose
suspicions that her boyfriend is cheating drive
her to drastic measures; a debt-ridden pizza
delivery buy named Jimmy (John Patrick Amedori),
who has turned to dealing drugs as a means of
restoring his financial stability; an STD-infested
teen whose boyfriend is itching for revenge; and a
pair of pool-cleaning roommates (DJ Qualls and
Jorge Garcia) whose fledgling business doesn't
turn enough coin to cover the rent.
