About the film: "Crenshaw and West 8th St and Lights and Camera and Action (and So On)" explores how the banality of Los Angeles is obscured by the facade of film, both as a commercial industry as well as filmmaking’s technical ability (specifically through camerawork and editing) to exude fantasy and desire.
