Follow a scene into the hills. A song onto the Strip. A story all the way to the ocean.
Pop-up: choose a greeting card from a wire rack and open it, and the downtown Los Angeles building the film used stands up out of the fold; one card is blank because its scene was cut. Sit on Tom’s bench, which is gone, move the height limit past the first skyscraper, and set expectations against reality at the fountain.
Follow collaborators through their work and the real places tied to it.
