2 days after LAPD's attempt to clear the City Hall lawn in downtown Los Angeles, LA's finest are back with a vengeance to finish what they failed to accomplish a few days before.
Today is Day 60. How much fight do the Occupiers have left in them?

..And here's Part 2:
Part 1 was shot by Joseph Ascioti & Kyle McQueen
Part 2 was shot by Joseph Ascioti & Jesse Ringness

The creative team of Jesse Ringness, Joseph Ascioti, and Kyle McQueen documented the events as they unfolded between police and protesters at the Occupy LA encampment. Being residents and filmmakers of Los Angeles, we decided to join the growing movement and help spread the word through viral videos.

I really enjoyed the emotions that Part 1 & Part 2 stirred up. For me, it felt like I was right there with you filming in the thick of the action. Great work & I'll gladly re-share!

Seriously felt like I was in the middle of the action! It's nice to get a new look at Occupy, plus it doesn't hurt that the shots were all awesome. The edits were really creative and moving! Glad I got the chance to watch these videos!

I get scared when I watch this because I realize how our county is slowly turning into a police state over the last ten years. How do we stop this?
I just wanted to say that I think your website is amazing . I am a beginner with an idea, and the info and articles on your website are easy to understand and answer many questions I have. I can not wait to start filming!

I am a professional filmmaker, and I applaud this site for detailing the ABC's of documentary filmmaking. It serves as my own checklist as I continue making my own movies ... Thanks!
