Little Athens follows a whirlwind day in the hapless lives of small town youth caught in a dead-end post-high school void. The journeys of four groups of late teens/early twenty-somethings unfold through four different storylines. Their separate trails converge at an explosive house party.
Mark Bell from Film Threat wrote that "Little Athens spends enough time gradually introducing us to the characters as they are, in their lives, not spending minutes upon minutes on random exposition, and the end result is that, though the characters are numerous and the plotlines varied, you never feel overwhelmed or lost." The reviewer also praised the cast, calling the actors' work "astonishing", and highlighted the acting skills of Erica Leerhsen and DJ Qualls.[1]
