If you are trying to break in to the Hollywood scene and are attempting to accidentally, or on purpose, bump in to some key players such as producers; you need to be seen and mingle in areas frequented by the likes of the big wigs in Tinsel Town. Standing in lines surrounding red carpet premiers can get you a glimpse of someone, however, you need to get in smaller, more intimate areas to truly catch a chance to meet up with someone face to face.
In Los Angeles, you should stroll through The Grove outdoor shopping complex as this LA version of a shopping mall tends to draw producers and directors who too need to shop once in a while. Further out, and closer to Hollywood, walking around Rodeo Drive can be another place where you may run in to someone you have been desperate to meet. While you are in the area, dining at outdoor tables along Rodeo Drive, Wilshire Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard can also give you a chance to catch someone as they pass by.
When you start to get tired from traipsing all over town, even hitting Redondo Beach, Venus Beach and the Sanata Monica Pier can also prove beneficial, as those spots too tend to draw some of the rich and famous from the area.
