A film by Block and Alec Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld is the cameraman and Block populates the film with actors from television and Hollywood films (Lucille Benson, Anne Dusenberry, Jeffery Kramer, Dick Miller, Vincent Schiavelli, Ray Sharkey and Gigi Vorgan) and gives directors Martin Brest and Stephen Verona rare on screen appearances. The Corona, California traffic unit and the California Highway Patrol provide the film with the reality of working traffic officers. A student at UCLA remarked after a screening, "How did you happen to film all of those movie stars after they got a ticket?" After making "No Lies", a serious work, Block wanted to do something with some comedy that would also continue to explore reality and fiction in a film that would mix actors and real people. What could be better than police in uniforms and speeders? Speeding? was done as a UCLA Project 3 while Block was in the UCLA doctoral program. The film received a production grant from the American Film Institute. Written by Mitchell Block See less
