Six Degrees of Shia LaBeouf

I once took a creative writing class at The Ohio State University with Dorothy Allison, the award-winning author of Bastard Out of Carolina. Erica Beeney was in the class. Erica Beeney had just written the screenplay for The Battle of Shaker Heights, which ended up winning the first season of Project Greenlight in 2003. Shia LaBeouf's first film role was in The Battle of Shaker Heights. I grew up two hours from Shaker Heights and, I believe, spent the night there once with a college friend after an all-night excursion to a Cleveland jazz club. It's hazy. Shia LaBeouf ate an elote at Fuel City Mesquite last week. I love elotes. And Fuel City.
