Los Angeles - Cool Places To See - Red Map Cities

"Los Angeles" is from Red Maps Independent Filmmakers City Series. http://www.redmaps.com

Our Series asks creative individuals to make a short film that captures the life, style and vibe of a city...using a Red Map.

The Filmmaker: Cristi Silva of ThatSoRad Productions
Santa Barbara, CA
http://www.ThatSoRadProductions.com
We met Cristi via seeing her photography work in California. She captures people and scenes that result in incredibly fresh stories.
So, it was a no-brainer to ask her to make a film, and to see how she might visualize one of our favorite cities. Cristi Silva's LA makes one feel as though they've never seen the city before.

The Music: "Surfing on Solar Winds" by Starfish Stories :: The Band
Singapore http://StarfishStories.wordpress.com
Ivan, Adrian and I-Ling are three Singaporeans who have up and gone pursued their dreams of creating music for the world under the Creative Commons program. Their music is available for all to hear, enjoy and download. We met them via SoundCloud.com under the name ramblinglibrarian. The music was the perfect match to give the film its soulful tour of LA.

Red Maps is a small, NYC-based company, making unique city maps that are smart, beautiful and easy-to-use. But our interest is not only maps, on our blog we highlight design in all its forms, including autos, furniture, architecture and more...we don't see a reason to limit ourselves. These short films are a way for us to collaborate with some very talented people. And if they help inform everyone about Red Maps...that's cool too. It's about having fun.

Yeah, yeah, I'm already sold on Red Maps. Please can we get the Lower East Side map out as soon as possible?

@jmurray2000 Hi, Thanks! We are overworked at the moment, but we do want to have the LES map soon. Just got an update from Germany. The Berlin movie is well on it's way for February. - Jim

Great way to use social media to promote the maps. Enjoyed the film and loved hearing the music from a new band.

Very inspirational that you're including collaboration as part of your business model. Bravo. And thank you, on behalf of my friends at Starfish Stories :: The Band.
