<i>Conversations in L.A.</i> American TV series or program

Conversations in L.A. is a one-shot romantic drama television series about the relationship between an older woman and a much younger man that was created, written, and directed by veteran stage actress Anne Marie Cummings. It follows the conversations between Michelle and Gus as they meet and fall in love, and the conversations they have with the people they know, who oppose their relationship in the City of Angels. The decision Cummings made to have the series filmed in the one-shot style with 360-camera choreography, was to submerge viewers into the world of the characters, as well as give actors an exhilarating experience similar to that of being on stage - - building the consequential momentum of one emotional moment upon the next without having to “cut.”
