LIFE UNDER THE BRIDGE, Director: Andrew M. McGivern
LIFE UNDER THE BRIDGE is a documentary about Ron "Pepper" Brown, a charismatic homeless artist living with HIV under the famous 6th Street Bridge in Los Angeles. While Pepper is aware of the camera and often focuses his words directly at the intended audience, he himself moves where he likes and the documentary is intended to be a blend of both direct cinema and cinema verite techniques, with no questions posed or narration of any kind.
