LOST IN LA

‘So what do you do?/Oh, I’m an actor, producer, writer and director… But you’ll usually find me making orange mocha frappacinos in Starbucks.’ 

Just another day in LA, another lost soul trying to follow the Hollywood pipedream. 

Lost in LA is the creation of Australian actress and filmmaker Sascha Raeburn. Trained at the esteemed National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney, Raeburn is one of the very few female writer's and director's from Australia to receive accolades for an outsnading web series internationally. Sascha has also appeared regularly as an actor in Australian television and theatre.

The web-comedy offers a series of quirky vignettes from the eyes of down-and-out actress Candace Benson, her best friend Bridgett Dunn and a motley crew of would-be talent all struggling to find success, and themselves, in Hollywood. Loosely based on Raeburn’s own diary of her time in LA, the web-series is a droll world of cheap-refill coffee, boisterous banter and amusingly absurd misadventures to make rent and re-invent. Like ‘GIRLS’ meets ‘Entourage’ with the desperation of ‘Two Broke Girls’, Lost in LA is a delightfully dysfunctional brew of classic gal-pal comedy and awkward, witty humour. 

Lost in LA eschews the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for something refreshingly raw. Made on a small budget with little more than a camera with a small microphone, the grittiness of the web-show’s production reflects the realness of everyday characters captured without any bells and whistles. 

Lost in LA is a hilariously candid romp through the streets of Los Angeles, where bright-eyed talent and ambitious triple-threats quickly learn that striving for the Hollywood dream is anything but dreamy. In a city where everyone is clamouring to be the ‘next big thing’, this exciting new web-comedy showcases short, sharp glimpses into the mundane and offbeat world of the hopefuls who find themselves lost in the whirlwind that is LA.
