2: ROB NILSSON is a film maker and founder of the Tenderloin Action Group in San Francisco. NILSSON works with "drifters and dreamers who shared the same conundrums of heart and head that confront us all." He works with people living on the streets. They have a grass-roots theatre group and are putting together a film, "Chalk," a pool-hall drama, with material from the lives of the actors themselves. NILSSON began the project as a way to alleviate his own feelings concerning his younger brother who lives on the streets.
