The groundbreaking 1996 documentary about Los Angeles coming to grips with its own history. Against a backdrop of never-before-seen archival footage, Shotgun Freeway presents a diverse group of "Angelenos" 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.  Produced & Directed by Morgan Neville & Harry Pallenberg.

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. 

Heretofore sworn to secrecy, this tough yet feminine group opened their homes, hearts and lives for the filmmakers and gave an insider's view of love, life and magic family values. As this is a family affair, many of the women are joined on camera with their more famous husbands, and some are interviewed with their daughters as they take their turn in the box.

Cast includes: Deanna Shimada, Coral (The Impossibilist) Reveen, Pam (Tomsoni and Co.) Thompson, Stacy (The Majestix) Jones, Luna Shimada, Moi Yo (Dante the Great) Miller, Frances (Willard the Wizard) Willard, Princess Irene Larsen (co-founder of The Magic Castle), Gay Blackstone, Dove, Jan (Mis-made Lady) Jones, Lance Burton with Burton's Babes, Criss (Mindfreak) Angel, and in a very rare occurrence, the magician Teller SPEAKS on camera!!!
