On Another Track

Hal Bastian - The Butler of Downtown L.A. decided to live, redeem his life and build a city! (Part 1)

Called Mr Downtown by many of the 15,000 people he knows, Hal Bastian prefers to see himself as the Butler of Downtown. With an amazing memory for dates and events, Hal takes us on a journey of decay and eventual rebirth of downtown Los Angeles. All viewed through the eyes of his campaign to stop the normalising of people dying in the streets of L.A.

 

Whilst turning around the luck of L.A. as a commercial real estate agent, Hal managed to escape death eight times, survived a swath of series medical emergencies and achieved sobriety from alcohol and cocaine. No mean feat for a man who was smiling on the outside but dying on the inside!

However when you get to know him, he is the most pragmatic person you can meet. He truly believes that to make a business strong and healthy you have to distill the essence of the company and define its culture… and then stick with it!
