Battle Of LA

I set out to tell a smart and charming story based on real events but infused with fantastical elements. A fantastical story from the past that is relevant today with themes of hope, helping others, and especially compassion for things we don't understand and for people who may be different than us. I wanted to root those elements in reality as much as possible through the use of practical effects and real working props. The more tangible a thing can be, the more an audience can grab on and relate to it. So, I wanted to ground the fantasy as much as possible and have our actors touching and interacting with real working props. If an actor can touch it, the audience is transported more fully into the world we are creating.
