'Idaho' next for indie producer

Zinn to direct his feature debut

Indie feature "Buhl, Idaho" will shoot in Twin Falls and Buhl this month for "Frozen River" producer Heather Rae.

Jaffe Zinn, an Idaho native and NYU Tisch School grad, penned the script and is making his feature debut. His screenplay, about a tragic event that unfolds over the course of a single day in a small town, won NYU's Richard Vague film grant.

Cast is headed by Scott Glenn, Alison Elliott and Kyle Gallner and also includes Matthew Gubler, Will Estes and Johnny Lewis.

Rae produces via her shingle Besito Films. Exec producers are author Nina Foxx and Paull Cho.

"Frozen River" won the main prize at Sundance in 2008 and was nominated for two Oscars.
