Before the clones attacked, before the Na'vi Hometree was destroyed, before Buzz Lightyear went to infinity and beyond, avant-garde film and video pioneers were expanding the bounds of the moving image by harnessing computer technology to create radical new ways of seeing.

LATEA Theatre's production of 'I Love them All' will run for a limited engagement beginning today, Sept 23, and continuing through Sept 29. It was written by AR Garcia, winner of the 2013 One Festival, and will also be performed by him. The play is about Nicholas De La Cruz, a young lawyer that has climbed the ladder of success through his aggressive litigation style and who has become consumed by vices. Fallen into sex addiction, alcoholism, and cocaine addiction he uses all his time for work. Plagued and haunted by nightmares prompts him to seek out therapy. In his sessions he uncovers that there is much more to his problems as he begins to talk, reflect, and reminisce about his childhood.
