During a decade working for a range of fashion and culture magazines, a sprawling West Coast metropolis was documented, its coming-of-age art scene, unique urban landscape, iconic fashion personalities, and current queer culture. Almost entirely shot on film, this is a poetic tribute to a decentralised city that has recently attracted a new breed of creatives excited by its cultural future and up-for-grabs identity, piecing together an eclectic community through portraits of familiar cultural figures given the same attention from the lens as the physical city itself, with its strip malls, agave plants and massive boulevards: an ode to a place still becoming itself and a celebration of the ambiguous time before identity sets in.
