Fast Forward: Growing Up in the Shadow of Hollywood documents the experience of growing up in Los Angeles, and the ways children are influenced by the values of Hollywood. The quest for “fame,” the preoccupation with trends, the culture of materialism, and the obsession with image that characterizes Hollywood is reflected in the everyday lives and rituals of L.A. youth. As one teenager says, “You grow up really fast when you grow up here. Everyone is in a rush to be old, to be going to the clubs, going out… It’s not cool to be a kid.”
