Midnight Movie: L.A. Writers Name Their Favorite L.A. Movies & More
While at the International Book Fair in Guadalajara, which featured Los Angeles writers, last month, Zócalo put together this great video asking writers four questions about the city: Your favorite L.A movie, your favorite L.A. book, what do you love about L.A. (we've got seven reasons and more) and what do you hate about it?
