Christmas came early to Venice
No, it didn’t snow and we are almost two months away from the holidays… – Hollywood Magic with some good set dressing, the panhandler even had a sign that said “Happy holidays! Anything helps!”. People were walking around with bags of wrapped gifts and dressed for cold weather with scarfs and big jackets.
It looked like they were shooting something Christmas related for CBS on Windward west of Pacific.
Otherwise the weather is somewhat on the cool side this morning, about 16 Celsius.
Stormy weather
After a winter storm in the North Eastern parts of the country, heavy equipment is used to remove snow – In LA it is used to remove sand….
The pictures are from Venice, along the boardwalk and up by the Venice Pier.
New Orleans Film Festival
The New Orleans Film Festival just concluded – October 14 – 22 2015
We went to see a few really good short films produced mostly by young filmmakers with a big vision and great talent. The short category, I think is an under-appreciated form of film. The quality of the films and the excellent storytelling is really entertaining but sometimes also give reason for pause and reflection.
The Lot was one of the most enjoyable short films that we watched this evening, but all the shorts had something that made them very interesting and fun to watch. The Lot is about a café owner that makes friends with a local kid and then tries to do good by helping him turn the empty lot next to the café into a place where the kid and his friends can meet and play – only to see the effort being thwarted by city bureaucrats.
