1. Bruno grew up in Puerto Rico before he was discovered and entered the modelling world, which led him to Hollywood where he is on his way to becoming a star actor. He starts in the logical place: by dating a young starlet.
2. Mike is an African-American guy from the suburbs who moved to Compton to see what it was like. On nice days like this he likes to go to Chinatown, because everything is so different there, and because there's this one girl who sells the shirts who he likes.
3. Alyson is a straight-edge white girl pursuing acting as a form of therapy -- and her best and only friend Charlie, a fat and very cute beagle, has gone missing.

About the Director Joe Leonard ...a somewhat misdirected midwestern kid living in LA and working in post-production on indie features shot on HD. Joe graduated from NYU's undergraduate film program in 2002 and worked at the Criterion Collection where he was paid minimum wage to watch movies. Blatantly Subtle was an idea that became a production animal as soon as Joe bought a DV camera and his friends Sam, Bob and Jill got religion in the form of Final Cut Pro and ideas over beer mugs in the East Village. Last year Joe won the Richard Vague NYU Grant to direct his first feature film ("How I Got Lost") and participated in the IFP NY Emerging Directors lab with Scott Macaulay.
