Burning Palms

Burning Palms is a 2010 American satirical thriller film written and directed by Christopher Landon (in his feature directorial debut) based on Los Angeles stereotypes told through five intertwining storylines.[2][3]

The film explores satires of Angeleno stereotypes, which are told through five interlacing stories.[2][3] The five intertwining segments are based on popular stereotypes of West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, Westwood and Holmby Hills.[3] Each of the characters in the film confronts taboos and an uncertain, often darkly humorous, fate.[3] Producer Oren Segal likens the film to "a John Waters version of Short Cuts" , a 1993 drama film directed by Robert Altman.[3]

The film was released in the United States on January 14, 2011, by New Films International. It received negative reviews from critics.
