“In those 40-some years that I’ve been looking, I think I’ve only come back from the flea market with nothing, twice.”

Director: Erwin Darmali | Running time: 10 min | Released: 2018 | Genre: Documentary Short Film | Rating: G

About the film:

Jim Heimann is a lifelong collector of historic paper ephemera and The Executive Editor of Taschen books. Sparked by the stories that he heard from his parents during dinners while he was a kid, his curiosity and passion about history (especially of Los Angeles history starting in the early 1900s) set him on his path of collecting and researching everything that he comes across. He is known as the authority on Los Angeles, a walking vault of information and an amazing story teller.
This film contains the story of the ascension of Leroy Grannis, a surf photographer who became very famous in his late stages of his life, partly as a result of Jim’s efforts.
