Sixteen-year-old Gaby Hoffmann, Woody Allen’s daughter in Everyone Says I Love You, turns up as co-star of Jesse Feigelman’s Snapped, a quirky romance about slacker kids in off-season East Hampton. CK model Johnny Zander makes his screen debut as Billy, a drifter whose chance theft of a hitman’s (Seymour Cassell) bag of cash from a New York greasy spoon leads him home to revisit his ex-girlfriend Tara (Hoffmann). Just out of high school, Tara’s put off art school plans to nest in the barn behind her cozy middle-class home where she photographs roadkill as part of some homemade art project. Tara also proves a magnet for Billy’s new friend Shane (David Wheir), a city boy who works at the local one-hour photo shop and spends his leisure time creating fictious family albums from stolen snapshots.

Feigelman’s a 1992 graduate of the State University of New York Purchase film program. He spent summers at his parents’ beach house in East Hampton but tasted outsider status there as the lone Jewish cabana boy over several seasons at the restricted Maidstone beach club. His 25-minute short Maintenance went to Locarno and other fests in ’94 and introduced actress Maria Bello, currently Noah Wylie’s love interest on "E.R." Feigelman has worked in feature sound recording for six years, most recently sharing location mixing credit on The Myth of Fingerprints and Love Walked In, Juan Campanella’s new film. He wrote Snapped with his college roommate and raised the cash – under $1 million – to shoot 35mm. Snapped shot 27 days in East Hampton beginning September 28, with Feigelman’s parents’ house as production central. Billy’s initial flight by train along the Montauk corridor was captured guerrilla-style with what Feigelman calls the "McGyver Method: ball bearings, a stick of gum and good old-fashioned ingenuity."
