Hollywood A GoGo (2013)
Directed by Jared Masters · 2013 · Rose Marie Guess, Stephanie Hernandez, Keleigh de la Cruz, Alara Ceri, Neva McIntosh
Hollywood A GoGo (2013), directed by Jared Masters, is a 60-minute comedy-music film that captures the exuberant energy of an ultimate dance party. Set against the vibrant, neon-lit backdrop of Hollywood’s underground scene, the film embraces the campy, high-energy spirit of 1970s disco and 1980s music videos, blending exaggerated choreography with spontaneous musical numbers. The cast — Rose Marie Guess, Stephanie Hernandez, Keleigh de la Cruz, Alara Ceri, Neva McIntosh, Jacqueline Henley, Shannon Victoria Murray, Julia Faye West, Julie Barzman, and Katherine Adams — embody a motley crew of dancers, dreamers, and partygoers who collide in a night of unscripted joy. There’s no traditional plot, only rhythm and revelry: the film thrives on mood, movement, and musicality rather than narrative arcs. Its tone is playful, irreverent, and deliberately over-the-top, channeling the aesthetic of cult dance films and underground music shorts. The style is raw and tactile, favoring natural lighting, handheld camerawork, and unpolished performances that amplify its authentic, DIY charm. This is not a story about triumph or transformation — it’s a celebration of movement as expression. It suits audiences who crave sensory immersion over plot, fans of retro-futurist aesthetics, and viewers seeking a fleeting escape into pure, unadulterated fun. For those who love films that make you want to dance rather than think, Hollywood A GoGo delivers exactly that: a 60-minute pulse of light, sound, and motion.
