Everyday Echo Street [videorecording] : a summer diary / conceived and directed by Susan Mogul. [1993]

As the title suggests, this video journal documents everyday life on Echo Street in Highland Park, Los Angeles. Through conversational and anecdotal portraits of neighbors, shop-keepers and restaurant owners, Mogul offers a glimpse of the neighborhood where she has lived for twelve years. But this highly personal tour is as much about Mogul and her redefinition of home and family as it is about her neighborhood. In intimate monologues she explores her identity as an artist in a working class neighborhood, a New York transplant in Los Angeles, a Jew in a predominanantly Latino area, and a single woman living alone as she enters middle age.
