It focuses on a group of young artists living and working in decaying industrial and warehouse buildings of Los Angeles’ urban core between 1978 and 1981. SynopsisThis documentary is an intimate snapshot of artists at work and play in their downtown Los Angeles lofts at a time when the contemporary LA art scene was just beginning to emerge in the scrappy, neglected urban core of the city before there were skyscrapers and the high temples to culture along Grand Avenue. Artists Bob and Bob, Linda Frye Burnham, James Croak, Woods Davy, Eric ‘Randy’ Johnsen, Marc Kreisel, Richard Newton, Jon Peterson, Monique Safford, John Schroeder, Coleen Sterritt, Andy Wilf and their homeless neighbors tell their stories in charming, candid interwoven interviews that reveal a surprisingly vital and thriving cultural scene that was all but invisible in Los Angeles in the late 70s. Long-gone downtown venues such as Al’s Bar (the gravitational center of the west coast punk scene), the legendary late night Atomic Café and the Terminal Café are shown as oases in an otherwise desolate downtown, decades before ‘loft living.’ Filmmaker Stephen Seemayer is as much part of the story as he is storyteller. He successfully cajoles his interview subjects into revealing themselves because he is one of them – an artist at play among friends. In the end, the film foreshadows the changes that will sweep away the world it depicts, a kind of reverse nostalgia that laments the changes that will soon transform Los Angeles in a maelstrom of gentrification. This is a sweet, personal film – and a revealing glimpse into a lost moment in LA history that deserves to be memorialized and valued as much by historians and anthropologists as anyone interested in the cultural evolution of the city. ProductionSeemayer shot Super-8mm interviews and b-roll from 1977 to 1981. An early version was screened in 1981. In 2012 it was digitized and re-edited by Seemayer and Pamela Wilson and a prologue, narrated by journalist Patt Morrison, added.
