Last summer a Jessica Alba film was shot (still set to be released), and a lower budget film with Staci Dash (Best Friend in Clueless) was also recently shot. A bunch of mainstream hip hop videos are constantly being shot here as well. 5 years ago, there was nothing, and I mean nothing really going on in film here.

Very true, last fall the movie "Alice" was filmed here. They even used the front of my house for a scene in the movie. (They wanted something that looked like Chicago.) The movie is supposed to be released sometime this summer.

We are fortunate that the city is promoting this to the degree that they are. It brings in quite a bit of activity.
