Tom Arnold, Ben Savage, Autumn Reeser, Johnny Lewis, Justin Mentell and Aaron Ashmore will star in indie "Palo Alto" for Anchange Prods. and Capital Arts Entertainment.

Pic is currently lensing in Palo Alto with Brad Leong at the helm.

Story centers on four college freshman on their last night of Thanksgiving break, the first time the lifelong friends have been home since leaving for university. Daniel Engelhardt is producing with Steven Gersh, Mike Elliott, Rob Kerchner and Joe Genier executive producing.

Leong came up with the storyline with Tony Vallone, who penned the screenplay. Project marks his feature debut after helming short films "God Bless" and "Spin Cycle."
