Here's a cool description of the Southland Tales:
"The story is about a group of people who meet during a blackout, in the southland, which is the term commonly used to describe Southern California. This is moving towards a Pulp Fiction type screenplay, only with a deeper meaning. This is the anti-musical musical. It's 30% Musical, 20% thriller, 20% comedy, and 30% Drama. There's suppose to be a hidden message about how life is lived, existentially and spiritually."
Moby is producing the music for the movie.
