SYNOPSIS

Nobody Walks in LA is the story of two old friends who, faced with decisions that cannot wait,  put their lives on pause for a day and do the unthinkable…walk around Los Angeles.  Putting aside a failing engagement on the one hand and a cross country move on the other – Miles (Adam Shapiro) and Becca (Kim Shaw) rediscover not just the streets of Los Angeles...but one another.

The Independent Feature Screening Series provides the opportunity for independent producers, directors, writers and actors to discuss the process of creating a feature length film while at the same time inspiring our audience to create their own work.
