During the Xmas break in 1971 I assembled a crew of artists, 3 on camera and 2 on sound, along with a few others to create a performance at the Topanga Mall in Canoga Park. I asked Don Drowty to assume the role of a candidate and meet people in the mall in character. At the moment the film started Don chose to change his role to become Evel Knievel, the motorcycle stunt showman of the time. The film was shot on Super 8 and the sound was recorded separately. This is the first synched version of the film originally shown in 1972 and now in 2015.
