Overview
Upon graduating college, a brokenhearted aspiring writer, without a dime or connections, packs his bags and heads to Los Angeles in the hopes of finding a new beginning. He quickly gets immersed into two very different worlds - one young, provocative and alluring, the other rooted in diversity, community and loyalty - both with their own unique appeals, advantages and dangers. Through his new experiences, he realizes who he is and where he belongs.
This is the perfect example of the kind of indie movies that I search high and low for. While it often seemed like it was going to tread in familiar waters it always seemed to stay fresh and original. I think this is especially true of the ending – it could have followed what you may have expected. Instead it was done just right.
