LOGLINE

Inspiration

Growing up in Orange County may very well be a dream for most people in the world. But here, million-dollar homes, Teslas, and Golden Retrievers are the perfect cover for white-collar crime, materialism, and toxic relationships that run rampant in this often misrepresented landscape.

This film aims to provide a peek behind the “Orange Curtain” into the authentic world of OC suburbia and reveal a deeper truth about this picturesque yet ever-devolving community.
