LOS ANGELES — Call them the wonder boys. They're in the business of manufacturing the effect.
Derek McKee, Franco Pascali and Zach Davidson may look like clean-cut 20-somethings kicking back in an Arts District loft on a Friday night. They're decked out in designer leisurewear, swig coffee and pass a nicotine vape between them, and the reminiscences and laughter come quick and repeatedly.
"Dude, we have so many good memories!" Davidson says, slamming his hand onto the marble dining table they're gathered around.
