This critically acclaimed, box-office smash combines visions from the world's top directors -- the Coen brothers (Fargo), Alexander Payne (Sideways), Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) -- and some of America's top stars -- Natalie Portman (Closer), Elijah Wood (The Lord Of the Rings), Juliette Binoche (Chocolat) -- who together create a panoramic portrait of this photogenic city.

Don't miss the fun in this hilariously sexy comedy that has Antonio Banderas (Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Madonna (Swept Away), and a sizzling all-star cast checking in for laughs! It's Ted the Bellhop's (Tim Roth, Pulp Fiction) first night on the job...and the hotel's very unusual guests are about to place him in some outrageous predicaments.

The Film Inspirations

These two films are examples of the inspiration for the submission we are looking for. Paris, Je t'aime [Paris, I Love You] (2006) we like for the concept and Four Rooms (1995) shows how people come together in one location. Why not show our own stories about Long Beach in the same manner? Made by the people of Long Beach, for Long Beach. We want quality films so when we put them all together they are cohesive.

Locations Abound

Long Beach covers 54 square miles with more than 78 individual diverse neighborhoods. Every one of those communities has a story to tell and we want to hear them. Tell your own story about living in this great city.
