ARTE: FANTASY

Happy to finally debut this after such an amazing time last week at the premiere party.  Tiffany Gouché releases the short film Fantasy, the title track off her recent EP.  This short film serves as an ode to the city of Los Angeles and specifically the Leimert Park district with its rich cultural history and often misrepresented beauty within.

The free form 'Fantasy' depicted in this non-fiction piece leaves much to the imagination as Tiffany envisions a world where generosity, gratitude, deep connection and selflessness, all elements of unconditional Love, reigns supreme.

We had a magical night with EJ HILL last Saturday.  The open conversation between Hill and everyone else in the room was engaging to say the least, in the case of this emerging performance artist the best way to describe the night was "he was present"
