Rounds, the feature film writing and directing debut of Mark Atienza, will make its world premiere at the Hollywood Film Festival on October 25 at 2 p.m. The independent drama from Freelance Filmworks follows three Los Angeles twentysomethings as they lean on each other to make it through jobs, relationships and the next day.

Multi-hyphenate Atienza, who also stars in the film, began his acting career as “Young Roy Hobbs” in The Natural, carving “Wonderboy” onto his bat. (Tenacious D would be so stoked, don’t you know.) Atienza continued his on-camera career in several movies (he was a “stoned surfer” in Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break, which I believe comprised a full eight percent of that film’s audience) and also produced a couple critically acclaimed short films, including You Always Stalk the Ones You Love, with Scott Caan. Along with Atienza, Rounds stars Meredith Zealy (The Notebook), Natalie Denise Sperl, Kelli Nordhus, Eric Shepherd (Unscripted), Pamela Warren, Nina Kaczorowski and veteran actors Billy Drago and James Handy.
