"Something LA" weaves a copywriter intern's summer trying to become a "hip ad guy" with the current time a year later when he's graduated during a recession and must cope with the perceived embarrassment of under-employment. Along the way he writes some catchy headlines, gets to know the moral compromises of advertising, and mingles with a few famous people when he finds his way into a modeling agency party. |
