Too Late

Private investigator Mel Sampson is tasked with finding a missing girl from his own past. Despite its familiar premise, the film rips the classic detective genre apart and remakes it into a Southern California tapestry depicting the state's menagerie of eccentric personalities and lost souls. From the desolate thickets of Radio Hill to the luxurious penthouses of Beverly Hills, this is a comprehensive picture of Los Angeles, a city that is both unknown and iconic. After all, "Too Late" is a story about a missing girl, in the center of which we find a portrait of a missing man. Read more The film was directed by Dennis Hauk.
