SYNOPSIS:

Cheerfully subversive, “Westsider” takes the viewer along the route of an unashamedly self-centered graduate of an L.A. architecture school who uses and abuses everyone in his path in order to attain his goal of becoming the next Frank Gehry-type superstar architect. A subtle and sarcastic portrayal of Los Angeles excess, naked ambition and misguided idealism, “Westsider” is perhaps the first film in history to leave you with a feel-good suicide finale.

“Westsider” was shot guerrilla-style without permits on a microbudget in neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles county over a period of eight days. Nine different film stocks were used to emphasize the different locales.
