Reflections on the San Francisco Bay Area

During the San Francisco Film Society’s presentation of La La Land, Emma Stone shared her love for the Bay Area despite not having visited frequently. She expressed her admiration for the city’s vibrant culture and the sense of mystery it holds for her, saying, ‘What do I love about the San Francisco Bay Area? Everything. I’ve only been here once, so I love what a mystery it is to me.’

Reflecting on her experience filming La La Land, a movie she considers one of her favorites, Stone said, ‘It’s my favorite. I’ve never seen anything like it, so people are gonna be in for a surprise.’

The film’s blend of classic Hollywood musical elements with modern innovation, directed by Damien Chazelle, resonated deeply with her. Stone’s enthusiasm for the project was evident, and she noted that its emotional depth and unique musical score made it a standout in her career.
