An unapologetically millennial view of Los Angeles, Melrose is a truly rare, and original, cinematic experience. Itâs La La Land â on acid; 500 Days of Summer â off its meds; The Graduate â for the college dropout. Financed entirely with college tuition payments, and produced independently with zero compromise by a crew with a median age of 21, itâs âa crazy, color blast of a movie.â (Actors Awards LA) and an authentic debut by director Soren James. Featuring award-winning, unforgettable debut performances from Jinny Ryann and Drew Koles, alongside irreverent, scene-stealing debuts from Merlin Froyd and Marie Oldenbourg, itâs dark, hilarious, heartbreaking, and spontaneous; sometimes all at once. With a hugely evocative soundtrack, a smart script, eye-popping widescreen cinematography, frenetic, fast paced editing, and a clever use of long, unbroken takes â the result is a rollercoaster ride, an experience comparable only to actually being in your twenties, with all its ups and downs.
