Actors Pippa Scott and H.M. Winant

Director Claire McCarthy, "The Waiting City"
 

Steven Peros, Writer Director of his feature film debut, “Footprints”, along with the film’s stars, Hollywood veteran actors Pippa Scott (“The Searchers”, “The Virginian) and  H.M. Wynant, a character actor of long-standing, discuss this homage to Hollywood.  When a young woman wakes up in the footprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre with no idea who she is or how she got there, her dream-like journey of self-discovery through Hollywood’s past, present and future begins.  Spanning one day, from sunrise to sunset, “Daisy” travels through the celebrity impersonators, Scientologists, tourguides, and shopowners, who reflect the quirkiness (and seediness) of Hollywood. “Footprints” features poignant performances and some of Hollywood’s greatest landmarks in this other worldly tale of identity and Tinseltown where “If you aren’t invited in, you don’t exist.”

In the second half, Claire McCarthy, director of “the Waiting City,” discusses the film, which is the closer the 8^th Annual Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles, starring Rahda Mitchell.
