DIRECTOR IN ATTENDANCE (Aaron Katz, USA, 2006, BETA-SP, 66min) Like most teenagers, Jessica (Anna Kavan) has trouble connecting with people around her, even her best friend Christie. Then she crosses paths with Gus (Cole Pennsinger), another apathetic seventeen-year old who spends most of his time bragging to his best friend Bill about his sexual escapades and drug use. Surprisingly, when Gus meets Jessica at the local 4th of July party, he puts his swagger aside and feels comfortable enough to open up to her. Throughout the course of the night, Gus reveals to Jessica his arkest secret. And that's when everything changes. . . Aaron Katz's pitch-perfect portrait of modern teen life is as simple as it is effective. Shot on a shoestring budget and boasting great performances from newcomers Anna Kavan and Cole Pensinger, DANCE PARTY, USA is an edgy little treasure worth exploring. "Delving beneath skin level and examining the mind of an 18-next-week boy, DANCE PARTY, USA is challenging, gritty, and true." -Darcie Stevens, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
