Director Statement

As a diehard film noir fan, I wanted to create something that reflected the great diversity noir films not of the Bogartesque "hardboiled detective" genre.

I feel so many parodies/tributes of film noir exclusively focus on the detective capers, they overlook great genre pictures exploring many other, fascinating themes.

It Happened on Exposition Blvd. is an ultra no-budget labor of love from me and several L.A. collaborators aimed at conjuring the nostalgia felt by so many die-hard fans of this iconic genre.
