A True Triumph!
An existential, archetypal, journey, a spiriutal quest, as a man takes on
his fathers fallen dream, dropped in death, and picked up by a son who
hardly knew him, who walks from the desert to the sea, with Los Angeles
as the limnal land between. Asking all the basic questions, looking for meaning
as much as answers. On the way Jim Akin introduces an ensemble of LA characters
asking their own questions and the dark trickster "Answer Man" who has all
the answers.
A surreal, absurdist, narrative with hardboiled voiceovers, poetry, musical
sections as well as music video type montages. Visually Jim Akin has found
a timelessly mythic retro Americana city, just off and under the freeways,
across the tracks,down the dry cement river,along the flood control culverts,
a sun dust bleached, barbed wire crowned, chain-linked melted black cracked asphalt industrial patina painted limbo of a Lost Angeles that can only be
seen on...
