Independent filmmaker Jacob Aaron Estes makes his feature debut with the coming-of-age drama Mean Creek. Rory Culkin, Ryan Kelley, Scott Mechlowicz, Josh Peck, Trevor Morgan, and Carly Schroeder are teenagers living in small-town Oregon. Some of the boys take a boat trip for a birthday celebration. When they get an idea to play a mean trick on the town bully, it suddenly goes too far. Soon they’re forced to deal with the unexpected consequences of their actions. Mean Creek was workshopped at the Eugene O’Neill Center’s National Playwrights Conference and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival as part of the American Spectrum program.
