Toluca Lake, Burbank, Los Angeles, California. A magical neighborhood tucked away at the foot of the Hollywood Hills, where ABC, Disney Animation, and Warner Bros. are all within walking distance. An epicenter of creativity, Toluca Lake offers the perfect backdrop for HAUS Film Festival.

“Let’s get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn’t to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Toluca Lake is a great neighborhood for creatives.

Palm trees sway lazily over the Los Angeles river. LA is not a desert.
