SYNOPSIS: Hosts Kevin Hurley and David Alan Scott Jr. go up and down Market Street in Corning, NY, interviewing people about controversial issues, to see how diverse (or narrow-minded) people can be. Should people make out in public? Should men dress like women? Should women go topless in public? Should homosexuals be allowed to marry? Should homosexuals be shot? Wait till you see what they say! It's a diverse adventure through public opinion, with special appearances by Adam Lindquist.

HISTORY:
For his Personal Law class at East High School, Kevin Hurley--assisted by various friends--interviewed various people on Corning's Market Street district about their opinions on diverse and controversial laws and issues.
Kevin (who I was not dating, by the way) and I filmed over two-and-a-half hours worth of raw footage for the film, which we managed to edit down to under seventy-five minutes.
In return for my help with all of the editing (scheduling sessions at CCC, deciding what segments to edit together, and running the equipment), Kevin gave me the master tape of the finished film, as well as all of the source footage (provided I make copies for him).
As a result, this counts as my second finished film project, as well as my first full-length picture.
REVIEWS:
"It was a great film, but I didn’t have much to do with it. I think I should have had more to do with it, but I wasn’t in the mood, and David was there, so he stole all my parts. The original idea was for Kevin and I to go around and interview people on the street. And I was like, “Sure, I’ll go with you, Kevin”. But I wasn’t in the mood that day, and the next day, or whatever, so Kevin and David just did the film without me. I kind of felt left out when they were going around without me. But I didn’t feel like it [anyway]. I was very depressed, and I wasn’t in the mood for anything [back] then." -Adam Lindquist, 1-12-1999
