Elisa DonovanHOST
Oh my god.
Brooke NevinGUEST
So he, you know, obviously that was sitting with him and resonating deeply, and he picked up his daughter, held her close, and then kind of went down this dark rabbit hole of doing research about human trafficking in Los Angeles.
Brooke NevinGUEST
But then talking to our director and the writer as well, Alex Wright, he explained to me that the inspiration for this project was indeed based on a real life story that hit close to home.
Brooke NevinGUEST
And it blew my mind because he said that he got the idea for the movie because he had received an email from his teenage daughter's school saying that all the parents should come and pick up their children from school because that day two teenage girls from one high school over had been abducted on Venice Boulevard.

Her name was Barbara Colby, and she'd just recently filmed three episodes of a Mary Tyler Moore Show spinoff.
JimmyHOST
Unfortunately for her, at about ten minutes before midnight, somewhere near the edge of Venice Boulevard, somebody put a bullet in her chest and disappeared into the traffic.

JimmyHOST
Barbara was born in New York City on July second nineteen thirty-nine, and spent most of her childhood in New Orleans after her family moved to the South.

And also when it's not in your face, it's a lot better.
Aaron HollidayGUEST
The same film that I sprained my ankle on, we had a lot of extremely wide shots of Venice Boulevard where they were hiding the camera so that nobody could see it.
Aaron HollidayGUEST
And we were walking up and down the boulevard and stuff.
Aaron HollidayGUEST
So much fun.
Zack TepermanGUEST
That's kind of stupid.
Zack TepermanGUEST
She's walking around Venice Boulevard saying, give me green card.
Zack TepermanGUEST
And how do we get people to pay attention? So you bring in some other celebs, you bring in a crazy story about stealing a pet chicken and people are just like, is this real life? And they latched onto it and it, it helped her.
Zack TepermanGUEST
I mean, I don't know where she is today, but the point of a PR stunt where I would advise her, you know, back then is PR stunts are great for that quick 15 minutes, but what do you do after it? And it's okay.
