OK made this film 10 years ago, edited on a Mac Avid - wish Final Cut Pro was around then...
Hello Angelino-philes,
SHOTGUN FREEWAY: DRIVES THRU LOST L.A., the 1996 documentary about Los Angeles History is finally available on DVD, replete with 30 minutes of bonus material, director's commentary and more. The perfect stocking-stuffer for that L.A. history fan.
Before "L.A. Confidential", there was "Shotgun Freeway"-- the groundbreaking 1996 documentary about Los Angeles coming to grips with it's own history. Against a backdrop of never-before-seen archive footage on the L.A., 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.
STARRING: Joan Didion, James Ellroy, Mike Davis, Buck Henry, John Milius, David Hockney, Frank Wilkinson, Buddy Collette, Burt Corona, Nick Beck, Margaret Crawford, "Jigsaw" John St. John.
30 minutes of Bonus Material: Director's Commentary, The Lost Tim Leary Interview, and three rare promotional films: Hollywood 1931, LA Police Tour (1958), The Free Way (1968).
Directed by Morgan Neville & Harry Pallenberg
