Ivar Tunnel: Shook Ones

Ivar Tunnel: Shook Ones is a darkly comedic social thriller that glimpses into the psyche and isolation of a black woman. Our protagonist, Leigh Jones, has recently moved into a picturesque apartment building at the base of the Hollywood Hills, just beyond the Ivar Tunnel. Since moving to the area she's been bombarded with notifications from the NEIGHBORLIE APP about all the insidious happenings in Holly-hood. One post about an "unhoused" woman taking refuge underneath the Ivar Tunnel shakes something alive in Leigh that'd been lying dormant. Leigh takes counsel in her friend Nicole, who helps manage Leigh's intense curiosity for the unhoused woman and her deep resentment for how the people on the NEIGHBORLIE APP seem to rally around her. We discover that what's below the surface of Leigh's consciousness is a throbbing sense of inferiority that is exploded by the presence of the unhoused woman, along with the willful ignorance pouring from the people in closest proximity to her-her neighbors. After a night of conversation and drinks with Nicole, Leigh decides to confront the unhoused woman, which results in someone paying the ultimate price.
