The Los Angeles Times has launched a video series, “Los Angeles Times F.A.M.,” which will take viewers to a different area of Los Angeles each week. 

The series is produced by L.A. Times Studios, created by the arts collective Poetic and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Carlos López Estrada.

“We created ‘F.A.M.’ to celebrate the beauty and diversity of our city,” López Estrada, who is also a co-founder of Poetic, says in the director’s statement for the project. 

The first episode, released on Thursday, covers Highland Park. Future episodes will feature local businesses serving up Indonesian street food in Culver City, Yucatán-style seafood in South L.A., and wholesome health food in View Park-Windsor Hills.
