Spend a broiling hot summer on the streets of South Central L.A., a time grimly known to locals as "the killing season," to document some former gang bangers who now try to make peace? That's the idea behind LTO: License to Operate, a documentary from Culver City, Calif.-based ad and marketing agency Omelet and production partner Foundation Content. The project, now in Kickstarter mode to raise money for postproduction and music, started when Omelet, Foundation and director James Lipetzky shot a promotional video for nonprofit group A Better LA.
