A human vacuum snorts a never-ending line of cocaine through a vapid party in the Hollywood Hills. ‘LESS THAN ZERO” meets “HANSEL AND GRETEL”. A satire about Los Angeles as a…VACUUM.

Directors Vision

I made a satire about Los Angeles as a…VACUUM. A few years ago, I went to an art show at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, I was drawn to this one particular painting called “Birds of Paradise” By Carl Dobsky. This painting told a narrative, it was almost historical in a way but it wasn’t ancient history. It was contemporary and presented a crowd of elegantly dressed rich white people drinking and doing drugs at a fancy pool party, totally unaware of the fire raging in the hills behind them. It was like Emperor Nero who played his fiddle while Rome burned. A few days later, I wrote this crazy little short film and appropriately called it, VACUUM. It’s ‘LESS THAN ZERO” meets “HANSEL AND GRETEL.”
