CALIFORNIA IS A PLACE is an ongoing short film series about curious subjects and interesting people from the golden state. The stories cover a range of themes - from the economy, to immigration, to urban youth and the arts - and are meant to be intimate portraits of a diverse range of Californians. For example, Cannonball follows a group of skaters who have turned Fresno’s foreclosure crisis into an opportunity; Big Vinny features a small town local celebrity used-car salesman as he ponders the lessons learned in his now lost lot; Borderland presents the complicated reality of drug smuggling along the San Diego County side of the U.S.-Mexico border; Scraptertown provides a voice for Oakland's Baybe Champ, whose scraper bike movement has become a bicycle art gang for good; El Rey is an intimate portrait of a Mexican immigrant trumpeter who, for the past twenty years, has been seeking work every afternoon in Los Angeles' Mariachi Plaza; Honey Pie is a portrait of the artist behind the Real Doll, the most realistic sex doll on the market; and Uppercut profiles a few Silicon Valley programmers who code by day and then gather at night for full contact garage fight club.
