Gods of Los Angeles: Lily meets Clifford clip (Quicktime, 11.6 MB) In this clip from the feature, Lily (Cori Haisler) meets Clifford (David Maddox), whose girlfriend has just broken up with him. Clifford, needing to assert himself as a man, has said that the next girl he sees, he's going to ask out, and he's not going to take no for an answer. Lily, an innocent-looking girl with some emotional problems, is the next girl he sees. So, Clifford comes up to her, and, well, watch the scene.	Gods of Los Angeles: dinner scene clip (25.1 MB, Quicktime) Another clip from the film In this scene, Clifford (David Maddox) has dinner with the mysterious Martha (Julie Kenworth) ... who has a couple of things to say about the way Clifford talks to women. The scene features cinematography by Jason Gutierrez and makeup by Rebecca Hong. It was written, directed and edited by Garrett Gilchrist.
Gods of Los Angeles: Paper Dolls clip (Quicktime, 12.4 MB) Another clip from the film. In this clip, Shy Phil (Davi Kutz) has started to write a song about two paper dolls ... a song that may hold some meaning for Bruce (David Ashe) and Lily (Cori Haisler). With Katherine Hoagland as Rhonda. Written, directed, edited and with cinematography by Garrett Gilchrist.	Gods of L.A. Teaser: "Jules on Film" (Quicktime, 9.7 MB) This unusual teaser for Gods of Los Angeles consists of a deleted scene from the film. The scene wasn't good enough to be put in the film, but it makes for an interesting teaser for it - because it's all about movies! This clip stars Mariana McConnell as Jules Kirschner, and Cori Haisler as Lily Benton. Cinematography was by Jason Gutierrez. Sound recording and boom operation was by Jason Gutierrez. Camerawork was by Garrett Gilchrist, who also wrote, directed and edited the film.
SCREEN TEST: KATHERINE HOAGLAND "RHONDA" Realplayer file, about 6 megs. The original, VERY early scrap of video that won Katherine Hoagland the part of Rhonda. She saw a poster hung up in the drama department and stopped by, not knowing anyone involved. She was the first actress to audition, and got the part shortly after. I had screen tests for David Maddox and Davi Kutz, but can't seem to find them.	OUTTAKE REEL: MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT SCENE 6 megs of line-flubbing, actress-hurting, light-dropping enjoyment, from a particularly strange night of shooting. We called Katherine in on short notice, and got Jonathan Block to lend us his apartment, also on short notice, late one night. With the hot lights in the room it soon got to be over 100 degrees in the room, and Dave, Katherine and Garrett's brains started to fry. Not to mention it was a long scene that required Dave to pick Katherine up and drop her at the end. The result was more screwups and wackiness than usual. (The final scene turned out to be one of Garrett's favorites.)
trailer 1: "god at a shopping mall" 9.3 Megs, in Quicktime format, 3 minutes. This is the original preview trailer for Gods of Los Angeles, which premiered at the Rewind film festival in July 2002. Garrett Gilchrist, David Ashe and John Brugmann drove to South Dakota for the festival while shooting was still going on. The trailer, already done in rough cut, was reedited while they were there and premiered to rave reviews. The first trailer sets up the love triangle between Bruce, Rhonda and Lily, and is a simple introduction to the plot of the film for those unfamiliar with it. Many shots were used in this trailer which were edited differently in the final cut of the film ... alternate takes and so forth.	trailer 2: "paper dolls" 11 Megs, in Realplayer format, 4 minutes. Nearly a year after the first trailer premiered, while editing the film, Garrett put together an entirely new trailer. Having set up the plotline in the first trailer, Garrett was free to simply edit together clips from his own favorite parts of the film. Viewers unanimously agreed that this trailer, although longer and stranger than the first, was quite a bit more interesting ... and better. This trailer suggests more of the philosophical issues at the heart of the story. I will point out that once again, shooting was still going on when this trailer premiered, over a year and a half after shooting began.

These trailers were reedited in 2005, for the final release of the film.
