“Highway Star“ This movie was filmed while I was finishing Mt. Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia in 1974-75 and during my first year in college at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, California in 1975-76. The scenes are streets, sidewalks, and driveways around Alexandria and San Luis Obispo. The final scene was filmed at the Carlsbad Skatepark in March, 1976, right after it opened. At the time it was the only skatepark in the world. Featured in the film are: Tom Fulks, Pat Fulks, Frank Dorenkamp, Hugh Ell
