Strip Malls

   2017    Culture
Perhaps there is no architectural feature more distinctly Angeleno than a strip mall. The city is full of them with their busy facades and bright neon signage. Their wonderfully eclectic, multi-purpose tenants give shape and home to the multitudes of ethnic communities that make up LA’s diverse population.
Trois Mec and Petit Trois can be found side-by-side in a Hollywood strip mall, nestled between a dry cleaners and a Yum Yum donut. Ludo’s restaurants and the dishes he creates for them embody the cultural mash-up and high/low flair that is the strip mall philosophy.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

   2024    History
Christopher Reeve was a world movie star, but in 1995 he suffered a near-fatal horseback riding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He later became an activist for spinal cord injury treatment and the rights of people with disabilities.
This film offers a poignant exploration of Christopher Reeve's extraordinary life, weaving together intimate interviews with his children, Matthew, Alexandra, and Will. It chronicles his journey from a difficult childhood and a strained relationship with his father to his meteoric rise as Superman, a role that made him a global icon. The narrative transitions seamlessly between his career highs—starring in acclaimed films, enduring public missteps, and returning to the stage—and the personal challenges that shaped him, including his complex relationships, the birth of his children, and his eventual romance with Dana Morosini, the love of his life.
After the devastating horse-riding accident that left him paralyzed, Reeve's unwavering spirit redefined heroism. The film highlights his advocacy for spinal cord research, the creation of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, and the enduring impact he and Dana had on disability rights. Their story is one of resilience, love, and inspiration, with their children now carrying on their legacy. Through moments of triumph and heartbreak, this film celebrates a man who truly embodied the spirit of Superman, both on and off-screen.

Supertramp: Live In Paris

       Art
Supertramp's 'Breakfast in America' was the biggest selling album in the world in 1979. Following the album's release Supertramp embarked on a 10 month world tour which arrived in Paris at the end of November. Now, transferred and restored from the original 16mm film, this footage is available to Supertramp's legion of fans worldwide.
In July 2006, the original master tapes of the album 'Supertramp: Live In Paris' were rediscovered in the Northern California barn of the band's drummer Bob Siebenberg, along with video footage. The tapes were sent to Cups 'N Strings Studios in Woodland Hills, California, for digital remastering. The tapes were initially in bad technical shape, but were successfully transferred to a digital format.
The original idea was to feature heavily footage of Paris, adding a story in The Song Remains the Same. The sound was remixed by Peter Henderson and Supertramp's original sound engineer Russel Pope from the original multi-tracks.
