Loren Cass

Three adolescents, Cale Mitchell, Jason Ambrose, and Nicole Hayes, awake in Saint Petersburg, Florida, a “dirty, dirty town by a dirty, dirty sea.” The city is plagued by uprisings on the Southside of the city after a young black motorist is gunned down by a white police officer. It's 1997.

“This sharp, gutsy indie is one of the year’s great discoveries.” (Nathan Lee, New York Times)

“In terms of low-budget filmmaking aspiring past its limitations, Loren Cass is the real deal.” (Andrew Grant, TimeOut New York)

“A deceptively simple indie drama that's quite bizarre, raw, haunting and refreshingly original on a visceral level.” (Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru)

“A starkly lyrical portrait of angry, disaffected teens in the racially tense wake of the actual 1996 St. Petersburg, Florida, riots.” (Aaron Hillis, Village Voice)

“The low-budget, low- tech indie Loren Cass is an example of less being best.” (V.A. Musetto, New York Post)
