Summertime
Directed by Carlos López Estrada
Produced by Little Ugly, Good Deed Entertainment
A warm, interconnected portrait of young Los Angeles lives told through poetry and everyday moments, balancing humor with genuine emotional vulnerability.
Over the course of a hot summer day in Los Angeles, the lives of 25 young Angelinos intersect. A skating guitarist, a tagger, two wannabe rappers, an exasperated fast-food worker, a limo driver—they all weave in and out of each other's stories. Through poetry they express life, love, heartache, family, home, and fear. One of them just wants to find someplace that still serves good cheeseburgers.
