What they don't have on film, besides the calf birth, is a seg- ment on the Renegades motor- cycle club, which calls Eight Mile its home base. Its leader refused outright to be interviewed, Mr. Glaser said. Detroit Mayor Den- nis Archer hasn't returned phone calls, either. Sharlan Douglas, executive di- rector of the Eight Mile Boule- vard Association, a coalition of area mayors and businesspeople involved in sprucing up Eight Mile, agreed to be interviewed on camera. But, "it's Gary's project; we're not sponsoring it, so it's his inde- pendent vision. Based on his pre- vious work, we think he can do the subject justice. We think there is a good, positive story to tell here," she said. Mr. Glaser, a Detroit native who eked out a few documen- taries during his 13 years in Los Angeles before moving to Pleas- ant Ridge a few years ago, con- ceived Borderline over a year ago. Hey, lots of other filmmakers have probably toyed with the idea of focusing on Eight Mile, Mr. Glaser laughed, "but nobody's been stupid enough to take on the responsibility and spend that kind of time" without monetary compensation. Both he and Mr. Toorongian, a Royal Oak resident, earn mon- ey doing freelance production jobs and teaching when they aren't out shooting. They got some seed money for Borderline from OC-4 (Oakland County Cable Com- munication Company), a public- access company that provides grants to aspiring filmmakers, but are pretty much making it as a labor of love. "A lot of people don't under- stand why we're doing this for no money. I do it to learn," Mr. Toorongian said. Mr. Glaser said when his par- ents Alma and Sidney were alive, they puzzled over his choice of profession, particularly when he was shooting a documentary about several prisoners. "They never understood me getting up every morning to go to the prison," he said. Yet, his work has been nominated for Emmy and Ace awards. The prison documentary For- gotten Voices, which tracks the progress of prisoners involved in an art/writing project, will pre- mier at the Detroit Festival of the Arts Film and Video Festival lat- er this month and will air on WTVS-56. His other projects, including Justiceville, about a makeshift community of homeless people, and Bombing LA., about graffi- ti artists, are available at Thomas Video in Clawson. Mr. Glaser is also teaching a class on film production at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit this fall. ❑ i j ' 95 RI1/11 E RA '95 CENTURY •••• !!! . : :•• . . • • •• • • • • • • • • • • •• " • • • • • • • • 77.• ,. ...X. • • • ••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • • •• •,,• A 4i • . . • .•• /05 •• •• •• •••• • . • Loaded with Leather and prestige package 11 . ,:.: . : . ... . •••• . . ,. ...:. 111 ONLY $995 Down Payment! •• •••.. .
