The movie Crash, by writer-director Paul Haggis, follows a diverse group of strangers in Los Angeles who literally and figuratively crash into one another, altering their lives forever. That premise will sound familiar to fans of Short Cuts or Magnolia or Grand Canyon. Producer Eric Molinsky lived in Los Angeles for a decade. He thinks there's something about The City of Angels that inspires a new kind of storytelling.
