Palo Alto

Palo Alto is a 2007 independent film that is set in Palo Alto, California and was made by Brad Leong, Tony Vallone, and Daniel Engelhardt, three filmmakers who are locals of that city.[1] The plot centers on four college freshmen on their last night of Thanksgiving Break, their first time back since leaving for school.[2] They find that the old adage about absence making the heart grow fonder rings true in director Brad Leong's nostalgic comedy drama.

Only then do they realize their small town, once seemingly boring and meaningless, has much more to offer than they ever expected.

Palo Alto stars Aaron Ashmore, Johnny Lewis, Justin Mentell, Autumn Reeser, Ben Savage and Tom Arnold.
