A-Run

Los Angeles 1995

Before AI…Before Google Maps…Before e-mail was widely in use. There were messengers. Messengers delivering headshots, resumes, and scripts. Everything that made the entertainment industry run.

Logline: It's 1995 in Los Angeles, where Hollywood Messengers deliver scripts and headshots around town. This is a day in the life of Lloyd, a messenger who must make a delivery, lie to a high-powered exec, and ask out his dream girl... all before 7pm in rush hour traffic.
