The Hottest State is a bittersweet romance that explores the passion, rage and need of first love. Days before his 21st birthday, William (Mark Webber), a young actor, meets and falls quickly and nadly in love with Sara (Oscar? Nominee Catalina Sardano? Moreno), a suductive yet skittish singer/songwriter. William's affair takes him from a Lower East Side tenement to a Mexican hotel room to a snowbound weekend in Connecticut to a sweltering homecoming in the hottest state of al ? Texas ? in the pursuit of Sara. His stubborn and sweetly innocent quest to find someone who loves him as much as he loves her forces him to newfound maturity. Linda Stasi from the New York Post raves, "Webber's so good that you get the feeling you're watching a young Gary Oldman, or even Brando...And as a bonus it's got the best soundtrack of any movie this year." The Hottest State features music performed by Bright Eyes, Cat Power, Feist, and Willie Nelson among others.
