Shifted (DVD)

SHIFTED is a crime/drama about a young man stranded in Los Angeles after the SEC shuts down the company he works for. When he is unable to get a new job and his girlfriend abandons him, he finds an odd place to live, makes some very unusual friends and realizes that he is being persued by his ex-employers. His whole world is turned upside down as his perspectives shift on what's important in life. "THREE STARS (Out of Four). A gritty drama that shows homeless life in a never-before-depicted milieu. The film is an impressive testament to the fact that you can actually make a movie without a budget. Filmmakers Linda Nelson and Michael Madison could teach a seminar on the subject!" --- Todd David Schwartz, CBS Special features on this DVD include a full length commentary by Director Michael Madison and Producer Linda Nelson.
