OLPA is a journalistic romp through news, events, and politics of the Santa Barbara area, based on the community-access TV show co-produced by David Pritchett and Cathy Murillo. The show is not about dogs, but rather the spirit of offleashness with a twist of cinéma-vérité. Episodes of the show debuted every month or so on local cable TV channel 17, from early 2007 to late 2010. The video and a description are posted here.
