    Looking for Jimmy

    Julie DELPY 2002 USA, France Fiction color 85min English DigiBeta
    Al has invited a few friends over for a barbecue to celebrate V's birthday. The party atmosphere changes when Al realizes that her boyfriend Jimmy, who is also V's best friend, has disappeared. Al and V set out across Los Angeles to look for Jimmy. Their search takes them to a variety of neighborhoods and eventually leads them to the desert. This urban, modern road-movie is set against the friendship and codependent relationship that binds Al and V together.
    Julie DELPY describes Looking for Jimmy, as "more of an experiment than an actual film." Shot on digital video, at a cost of about $3,000, it was shot over a 24-hour period in Los Angeles, stopping the camera only to change the tape. It's a freewheeling excursion through contemporary Los Angeles.
