Broken- Downtown Film Festival

Broken

“Broken,” a short film I have some association with, has been accepted to Los Angeles’s Downtown Film Festival. It will show on Aug. 16.

“Broken” Director: Harry Buerkle 2007, USA, 7 mins. Numbing loneliness has led a woman to make a decision that she comes to regret deeply the next day.

The festival seems to have some interesting films, so it is probably worth stopping by, even if you can’t see “Broken.” Schedule here.

If Los Angeles were a vodka…

what would it taste like? Very fruity, according to the ABSOLUT gurus who have created a limited-edition vodka to represent the city.

It’s some mixing of Acia, blueberry, and pomegranate, as a “nod to the city’s trendy, environmentally forward, and health-conscious ideals.” So we not only taste like a purple smoothie, but provide anti-oxidants too!

ABSOLUT is donating $250,000 to Green Way LA, an enviromental group trying to help make this city green friendly, so at least there’s that.

There’s drink recipes on the website, if you really need MORE Los Angeles in your system.
