California Is A Place is a website focused on exactly what its name entails: California. The website consists of short, beautifully produced documentaries that tell stories about ordinary people in California doing extraordinary things. From protecting the border from drug traffickers to an eco-minded, youth-led bike crew in Oakland, these short films capture American lives that the general public doesn’t get to see every day, set in the backdrop of the beautiful state of California.
These documentaries are produced, directed & shot by Drea Cooper & Zackary Canepari, both talented filmmakers & photographers in their own right. They collaborate with Dave Janusko for theĀ music giving each piece it’s own personal soundtrack. Do yourself a favor & take a few minutes to watch our favorite, entitled “Scrapertown.” – Elliot Lobell & Moni Pineda
