Kit Williamson and John Halbach, a couple who relocated to Los Angeles a decade ago, reflect on their journey in a charming 1920s Spanish-style apartment. They felt destiny when they first saw the place, despite concerns about competition for the apartment. Their landlord, Susann, became an LGBTQ+ ally and patron of the arts, granting them permission to film their successful web series 'EastSiders' on the property. This experience significantly impacted their careers, illustrating how supportive environments can enhance creative endeavors.
"It felt like fate, and it was love at first sight," Kit writes, though the couple initially had doubts.
"At the time, we remember thinking there was no way we were going to get the apartment when we applied, because a college professor handed in an application in front of us."
"...she gave us permission to film a web series in the apartment called 'EastSiders' that I wrote and directed, and we both starred in alongside our friends in the neighborhood."
"Susann is a patron of the arts... making the show really changed the course of our lives."
