Just like last time, this film was shot by "outdoor" filmmaker, Johnny Allen Shaw almost entirely on and around the first four blocks of Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, California, USA while living on the streets, but this time he has the first movie in hand as a source of income, credibility and the very subject of the sequel.

Meet Dave. They called him a living legend around the Haight in the '80s.There aren't too many like him running around, or are there? What if they managed to re-create, to re-animate the same image in the flesh over and over again...? Now you can find out for yourself.

How about Allen? Come see the softer, sensitive side of Telegraph Avenue's most notorious screamer. Now, he has a DVD to sell and he doesn't have to beg. Let's watch.

Ronnie's a runner for the street vendors. In-between, he puts on quite a show. Check it out.

"Delusional" Danny has a thing for trees and is understandably wary of taking his meds. You be the judge. Is he insane? Alright!

Director's Statement:

Did it ever occur to anyone that, maybe homeless people don't need your help? People lived outdoors before there were homes, you know. Maybe the only reason homelessness is a problem because we make life problematic.

Things were more smooth this time -- a 3CCD camera, sturdier computers and celebrity status make for a better movie.
