Why It's FilmBuff
It's loneliness in adolescents done right. It makes a movie about early life actually watchable. With characters like "The Suicide Kid" and "The Punk Kid" as secondary characters we knew that the movie would sustain us. It's about these kids dealing with the aftermath of the 1996 St. Petersburg riots. How were they involved? Why did it happen? What can they do other than feel anything?

Film Reviews:
  • "A starkly radical film debut of uncommon power and artistic principle, Chris Fuller's "Loren Cass" announces a genuinely original filmmaking talent who literally pulls no punches in his depiction of teen angst and racial warfare on the streets of 1997 St. Petersburg, Fla. Suffused with pessimism and an overarching sense of the loneliness of modern American life, the pic affirms a vital alternative to the usual adolescent drama, making even Larry Clark look tame by comparison."
