When did you begin shooting The Faces of Los Angeles?
We began filming in January, 2011.
Where is The Faces of Los Angeles being filmed?
Just as our film captures many aspects of Los Angeles, we filmed all over the city, from Downtown Los Angeles and surrounding areas, including Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Long Beach, Beverly Hills, Westwood, East Los Angeles, and Hollywood. Our film truly captures the energy and spirit of this fascinating town.
What is the best thing that has happened during the shooting of The Faces of Los Angeles?
The best thing was meeting each of the unique, inspiring and amazing Faces of Los Angeles!
What is the biggest obstacle this project has encountered?
Permits! Indeed, here in Los Angeles, you need a permit to film just about everywhere. Security officers in L.A. Live and a Santa Monica Ambassador asked for a permit. The manager at Dillon's Restaurant in the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street sent a security guard to ask why we were filming and taking pictures outside (hey, aren't sidewalks public anymore?), and even a homeless street vendor in Venice Beach screamed that we needed a permit to film. L.A. sure loves permits!
What is the film portraying?
Our goal is to reflect the energy and diversity of Los Angeles, and portray life in L.A. from different perspectives. That's why we chose an eclectic group of people to tell their true stories. This documentary does not resemble your typical, sensationalist "reality" TV show -- it's "real" reality that captures the unique world of Los Angeles!
