Openaire Restaurant
“Your family, my family, I don’t think I have the strength.”
Amira (Lauren London)
It is in the original and distinguished setting of the Openaire Restaurant, within the Line Hotel, that director Kenya Barris filmed the first date of Ezra (Jonah Hill) and Amira (Lauren London). The meeting takes place under the sublime glass roof of the establishment.
An exceptional place
Impossible for Kenya Barris to use places built in studio. From the beginning of the production, his team went around Los Angeles to ask for the filming authorizations. The Openaire Restaurant is one of the selected locations. With its atypical architecture and its original atmosphere, this place is one of the most beautiful in the film. The starting point of the love story between the main characters, it sets the tone for their romance.
In search of authenticity
You People stands out for its casting. A cast based around Jonah Hill and Lauren London that Kenya Barris has exploited to spice up his story, as he explained to Screenrant: “Authenticity. I think that Jonah represents a LA Jewish Jew in a way that you haven’t really seen before. And Lauren is LA royalty from the hood.“
Collection of places
In the end, You People tells its story through an impressive collection of film locations that can be visited. Far from the studios, director Kenya Barris wanted to pay homage to his city through easily identifiable locations, to set scenes whose strength also comes from their location.
You People is the third film produced by Jonah Hill.
Openaire
With its leafy decor, beautifully laid out tables and glass roof, this restaurant is one of the most popular in Los Angeles.
Chef Josiah Citrin reigns supreme with his two stars in the Michelin guide, over the cuisine of this establishment. Particularly popular for its brunch, the Openaire also hosts private events. Located on the prestigious Wilshire Boulevard, it highlights the talent and know-how of its chef and offers dishes made with noble, fresh and seasonal products, in a refined atmosphere, conducive to letting go.
