California is a place is a film comprised of four short stories about curious subjects and interesting people from the golden state. Cannonball follows a group of skaters who are taking full advantage of Fresno's devastating foreclosure crisis; Big Vinny, once a local celebrity used-car salesman, ponders the lessons found in his now lost lot; Borderland presents the complicated reality of what it's like to live along the San Diego County side of the US-Mexico border; and Scrapertown provides a voice for Oakland's youth and the undisputed Scraper Bike King - 'Baybe Champ' issuing forth on the philosophy behind the scraper bike movement.
