C-47 (industry slang for clothespins, essential tools for film and TV production) combines images from the periphery of the Los Angeles film industry, focusing on small operations and situations with models. Improvised sets reveal low budget methods, somewhere between documentary and fiction. Film culture permeates, down to seemingly unrelated businesses like caterers and carpet installers, prop rental shops, painting studios, special effects specialists, stunt trainers, film schools, etc.
