"It is truly inspiring when a community can come together, even in hard times, to support the arts and artists," Gourley said in a prepared statement.
"Through the Seven Degrees of Inspiration Grant and the Laguna Beach Alliance for the Arts, we have been able to launch the treatment movie of 'Liquescent,' which will now be used to create further funding," he added. "'Liquescent' is an aesthetic dream that would have never launched without this kind of support."
