Tammy (Ivy Kahn), Lloyd (Chad Cunningham), Jordan (Brett L. Tinnes), and Molly (Granger Green) are four friends living in the small town of Newhall, CA. While Newhall is only 30 miles from Los Angeles, in terms of culture and opportunity it feels like another continent. The four attend the local community college, which seems more like an extension of high school that a window to new opportunities, and work part-time jobs that make them feel all the more stuck in a place that's going nowhere. Racism is commonplace in Newhall, street fights are an everyday event, and a far-right Republican is expected to become the town's next congressional representative. In the midst of all this, Tammy is studying filmmaking and dreams of going to art school while using her work to expose Newhall's ugly underside, Jordan spends his evening vandalizing Republican office spaces, Lloyd tries to resolve his romantic feelings for Molly, and Molly ponders how to get her life out of neutral. Analog Days was the first feature film from writer and director Mike Ott, and received its world premiere at the 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
