"...irreverent, insightful 'Shotgun Freeway' is surely one of the most ambitious documentaries on Los Angeles ever attempted..."
Kevin Thomas - L.A. Times
Before “L.A. Confidential”, there was “Shotgun Freeway” – the groundbreaking 1995 documentary about Los Angeles coming to grips with it’s own history. Against a backdrop of never-before-seen archival footage, Shotgun Freeway presents a diverse group of “Angelinos” who guide the film through their own past as well as the city’s. We get crime scribe James Ellroy reliving his youth as a burglar, Actor/writer Buck Henry’s tour of Hollywood fakery, Jazzman Buddy Collette’s trip down Central Avenue, Historian Mike Davis’ tour of LA’s eventual Armageddon, and writer Joan Didion’s take on LA’s own ephemerality. From the Beaches to the Valley, “Shotgun Freeway” will show you a Los Angeles you never knew existed.
The documentary film about magic's better half... Women in Boxes is the first film to uncover the story of the Unsung Hero behind the magician. The devoted Magic Assistant who distorts her body into impossible positions while the magician cuts her in pieces, stabs her, sets her on fire, makes her disappear, then restores her to life with a dramatic Taa Daa and takes a bow to wild applause.
