The story
A carpenter by trade.
A comedian by calling.
Adam Dalton chases a dream on Hollywood’s comedy stages while living out of a vintage camper parked on the streets, spending his days helping his mentor build a comedy club from the ground up.
The neon pulls him in. So does the dark underneath it. He’s no hero — he’s just a man who can’t walk past people in need without stopping. In Hollywood, that’s enough to make him dangerous to the wrong people.
Lost Souls of Sunset is a raw, deeply human story of laughter and longing, violence and grace — and one man trying to stay true to himself in a place that makes that very hard to do.
I walk with the lost souls— Adam Dalton
of Sunset.
