Streets is an American dramatic film starring Christina Applegate and David Mendenhall and directed by Katt Shea.[1]
Plot
Dawn, a drug-addicted teen prostitute living on the streets of Los Angeles, and Sy, a teenager with dreams of becoming a rock star, become friends after Sy rescues Dawn from a violent john. Dawn takes Sy under her wing and gives him a guided tour of the seedy underworld of Hollywood.[2]
Production
Katt Shea later recalled:
That was me just exploring the underside…I tend to really like to explore people I don’t know and so I started doing research on the streets and talking to people who lived on the streets. I did a lot of research and they thought I was a homeless person and I hung out with the kids and stuff and then wrote from that research. I knew a girl who was a heroin addict that we based "Dawn" on her. She lived on the street or sometimes she lived with a very rich boyfriend, which was very very strange.[3]

Streets was released on VHS in mid 1990 through MGM/UA Home Entertainment.[4] A double feature DVD edition is due on April 19, 2011, as part of the Roger Corman's Cult Classics collection, through Shout! Factory.[5]
