Hardline presents: Going Down in LA-LA Land - Vancouver Queer Film Festival 2011

Hardline is really excited to share these great films with festival goers at this years Vancouver Queer Film Festival. Going down in LA-LA Land is a fabulous tale, of a yonge and beatifull New Yorker with his eyes set on making it big in Hollywood.., the rest, well you'll just have to see!

Last year director Casper Andreas brought his charming “fag-hag” comedy, Violet Tendencies, to the Vancouver Queer Film Festival, selling out two screenings and making news on CityTV’s Breakfast Television. This year Casper is back with an impressive foray into dramatic filmmaking.

Based on the novel by Andy Zeffer, Going Down in LA-LA Land is a no-holds-barred look at Hollywood. Adam, a baby-faced New Yorker, moves to Los Angeles to—you guessed it—try to break into acting. He and his theatre school chum Candy move in together, but their non-existent careers don’t pay the rent. Candy seeks older, wealthier bachelors, while Adam slips into gay porn and escorting. New to and naïve about the gritty world of sex work, Adam is lucky enough to find a steady trick who also happens to be a famous television dad on a family sitcom. It isn’t long before their affair is swept up in whirlwind of Hollywood gossip that puts Adam in a spotlight he never bargained for.
