Little Athens hits store shelves on November 21st, and we have a copy of this provocative suburban thriller  for a one lucky /Film reader. All you need to enter is to e-mail us through the linked contact form with the reason why you should get this DVD (note: you must first register with /Film).

On November 30th we will e-mail the person who presents the best answer.

Little Athens features an unparalleled list of rising Y-generation stars including Michael Pena (World Trade Center), John Patrick Amedori (Stick It), Jorge Garcia (“Lost”) and DJ Qualls (Hustle & Flow), will debut on DVD on November 21, 2006 from THINKFilm.  An official selection at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival, Little Athens will be available for $29.99 SRP. 

“Just like GO captured the beat and feel of twenty-somethings in the 90’s, Little Athens captures young, small-town America at the beginning of the 21st century,” says Marc Hirshberg, Senior Vice President & COO of THINKFilm. “It’s amazing that what is happening in Little Athens could easily be happening in your town.”

Little Athens follows a group of small-town young people trying to overcome desperation and fear with tragic consequences.  At the center of it all is Jimmy (Amedori), who has stolen his dead drug dealer’s stash and must now unload it without getting caught by his associates.  At a massive house party in the heart of Little Athens, everyone is about to face the consequences of their reckless pursuit of sex, money and acceptance.

Rounding out the star-power is Rachel Miner (The Black Dahlia), Leonardo Narn (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift), Eric Szmanda (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Tory Kittles (Get Rich or Die Tryin’), Shawn Hatosy (The Cooler) and Erica Leerhsen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre).   Edgy performances are punctuated by a soundtrack featuring music by Radiohead, The Plebz, Poets and Pornstars and The Walkmen.
