The following are links to two, of the several films, I made last century.
The first is in 16mm film format and concerns growing up as a surfer in La Jolla in the 1970s.
The seconf film is in 35mm format and the story is set during the Republican convention in San Diego in 1996. It concerns a woman with two children who had been sexually abused by her stepfather, a Republican congressman, when she was a small girl. The story begins at Tioga Pass, Yosemite, before moving south to San Diego and finishing in the Mojave Desert. Below is the YouTube link to it.
