It's well known that before there was "Hollywood," there was Edendale, home of Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios but lately the indie film shooting hot spot in 90026/39 seems to be Echo Park Lake.
It's not like Echo Park suddenly reemerged on the live set scene following the excellent, filmed-throughout-Echo-Park Quinceañera, in fact, we're sure that numerous films have filmed key scenes at the home of the Lotus Fest and Dragon Boat Races.
Last month, it was the upcoming Winona dramedy, The Last Word and today, as captured on the short, blurry clip above, it's the forthcoming Columbus Day which may or may not be based on Charles Burmeister's award-winning screenplay. Nobody on the set would spill the beans, and imdb isn't much help either.
So we throw it to you, dear reader. What movies can you name that feature scenes shot at Echo Park Lake?

Cycle Savages, a 1960-something biker flick starring Bruce Dern I just rented recently has a bunch of scenes at the Echo Park Lake (it's a crappy movie tho)
Chinatown - There's a scene where Jack Nicholson is in a boat in Echo Park spying on someone else in another boat. I forgot the exact context of the scene.
I clearly remember a young Jack Nicholson rowing a boat in Echo Park Lake in Chinatown.
"bad influence" 1990. rob lowe and james spader.
I remember a scene where the lapd pulls a body out of echo park lake..and they blame innocent rob lowe!!! Because like most movies, including "mannequin" spader, is the asshole.
There were some exterior shots in Training Day. When Ethan Hawke's character is all screwed up on PCP, he stares out the window at Echo Park Lake.
You're correct, this is the Burmeister script, and he's directing, too
