I consistently spend a lot of time here. It's the most relaxing place in the city.

Favorite bookstore. There's an art book + comics section and a chapter books section.

Waves of the pacific ocean crashing underneath at your feet, while roller coaster rattles above.

Frank Lloyd Wright building with a beautiful view of Hollywood.

I grew up a few blocks from the "New Bev", the oldest revival house in Los Angeles. I was there every week in High School and watched everything from Deep End to Wings of Desire. It's no wonder I departed from mainstream cinema, early on. One night towards the end of High School, I went to see a film and wound up talking to this loud and wacky man who told me he had a film coming out called "Reservoir Dogs". Now he now is part owner. These days I go to the New Beverly for their Midnight movies and even had the chance to screen my own film there which was one of the greatest feelings in the world.
