    Above LA is a love letter to Los Angeles and showcases my favorite way to view the city - from above. Whether on a rooftop, a hill, or a mountain, getting above the grind of the city allows you to appreciate it in a new way. Once you get even slightly above, the views and sounds begin to change dramatically.
    Getting above it all has been instrumental in helping me get to know and appreciate Los Angeles. This piece was produced off and on over the course of two years, and the clips selected for this film are only a small percentage of what I captured during my quest to take in the city from different locations and in new ways. Some of the locations featured are popular and easy to access, others require some searching and hiking, and some are heavily restricted. But I encourage everyone - lifelong Angelenos, transplants, visitors - to hit the trails, drive the mountain roads, find a reason to get on top of a high-rise. From the basin to the valley, this city offers so many opportunities to rise above and look down. Never stop exploring.
    This film was shot at 5K+ resolution and is available for display in 4K.

    An extra special thanks to Matt Givot and Tamara Westfall. Without your gracious production assistance and support, this film would not have been possible. Thank you!
    Special thanks to Colin Rich and Andrew Walker for always making LA look so good and being an inspiration to keep exploring and capturing moments of time in Los Angeles.

    I remember when I first got a medical marijuana card in 2007 my friend and I drove to the weed clinics in LA, picked up several strains and then spent the rest of the day slowly driving through the neighborhoods of LA through the hills and valleys eastward along the san gabriel mountains back to the IE. One of the coolest days of my life. We were so stoned by I'll never forget it.

      Cade Del Rey It might seem like paradise but it comes at a price. I know so many people who ditched LA because it’s too hectic and expensive. In fact, I used to live there too. So many people are fleeing California and moving to other states. People in eastern California want out and they even want to declare Independence as a new state.

    The relentless focus on buildings, especially the downtown area, and on traffic is a good indication that the videographer is not a native Angeleno. When out-of-towners ask to “see downtown,” locals scratch their heads in amazement. If there’s one thing L A isn’t, it’s a downtown-centric city like other major metropolises are. The video doesn’t get to some of what’s best about the area until nearly the 3 minute mark, and avoids water like the plague.
    Also, time-lapse makes the pace of the city seem frenetic, whereas it’s still a comparatively laid-back place to be.
    Other than that, it’s an enjoyable video that barely begins to crack the surface of all there is to see and do in L A and its environs.

Make sure you visit Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, and Laguna Beach when you‘re here. Also the Observatory at Griffith Park, at sunset to watch all the city lights come on. NYC is okay for a few days but would be hell to live in.
