Palo Alto weaves lead together three stories of teenage lust, boredom and self-destruction, including one centered on shy, sensitive April (Roberts), torn between an illicit flirtation with her soccer coach (Franco) and an unrequited crush on sweet stoner Teddy (Kilmer). The second story centers on Emily (Levin), who offers sexual favors to any boy who crosses her path. The third story revolves around the increasingly dangerous exploits of Teddy and his best friend, Fred (Wolff), whose behavior may or may not be sociopathic.
FILM REVIEW: 'Palo Alto' "Gia Coppola's auspicious filmmaking debut Palo Alto is an elegant depiction of generational angst and despair, which resonates with realism and restraint," Tribeca Film chief creative officer Geoff Gilmore said. "Fueled by a vibrant cast of young talent, Coppola's artistic collaboration with James Franco results in a thoughtful lead and subtly intertwined coming-of-age story."
"[Tribeca is] a company that has been a pleasure to partner with and share creative ideas in this ever evolving film industry," Coppola said. "I can't think of a better home for my film."
