An Entertainment Co-op


The Entertainment Factory
In the 1920’s and 1930’s Hollywood operated much differently than it did today. The movies they produced were created in Factories. These Entertainment Factories as they were called did everything from Writing to Marketing.

They were communities of Writers, Actors, Directors, Producers, and Artists who all worked, ate and often lived under one roof. And they produced Movies, Radio, Theatre and Eventually Television. Movies rolled off their assembly lines like Fords and Packards, often one a week. They were run by insane moguls who owned the talent, and drove them to excellence and quantity.

Those were the Glory days of Hollywood. They eventually died out and the communities eventually dissipated. The Entertainment Factories were tore down and replaced by modern studios, agents and lawyers.

At La Villa Basque, I want to recreate ‘The Entertainment Factory’ and bring it into the 21st Century using modern tools to create Modern Entertainment Products. I want to bring back the community and am looking for well rounded Entertainment Professionals who can help me rebuild an Entertainment Factory which will be open to the public and feature, Comedy Nights, Showcases, Dinner Theatre, Music and Dance nights. I need not only Actors, Writers, Dancers and other Creative Types, but I need a team to take care of guests. I need Waiters, Bartenders, and Hosts.


I know so many talented people in the entertainment industry who are not working. Not for lack of talent but because they never get the opportunity to sell themselves.

At La Villa Basque’s Entertainment Factory we are building a commune of Creative professionals. We will work together, earning money as servers, hostess and bartenders while we develop products we can present and sell to the public.

Friday signals our first Event entitled, The Salsa Lounge.
