Based on the novel by Andy Zeffer, GOING DOWN IN LA-LA LAND is a seemingly simple story: a hunky young man (Matthew Ludwinski) moves to LA, seeking his big break in showbiz while living with his best friend, a straight woman who spends her time shopping and chasing men. But throw in a foray into the steamy world of gay porn stardom and escorting, and a blossoming relationship yearning for survival amid the hysterics of Hollywood, and you’ve got an updated, uncensored twist on the “rom-com” genre from the director of VIOLET TENDENCIES (SLGFF 2010) and FOUR LETTER WORD (SLGFF 2007).
