Since directing “Twilight” in 2008, Catherine Hardwicke has directed TV projects like “Under the Bridge” and Guillermo del Toro’s “Cabinet of Curiosities” and directed indie films with the likes of Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore. She’s shot from London and Rome to Mexico. But for her latest feature, “Street Smart,” Hardwicke tells the stories of people in her own neighborhood – Venice, California – where she shot “Lords of Dogtown” 21 years ago. Venice has always been a magnet for dreamers and creatives, but in the past few years, tensions have heightened as residents grapple with the effects of the sizable unhoused population in the area.
