The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Filmmaker Bret Wood interviews Earle Deems and John Domer, two of the few surviving people who made films for the Highway Safety Foundation in the Fifties. The men worked for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, which made some of the grisliest, graphic educational films around, and have become cult items in later decades.
