Graffiti Documentary Trailer

Posted Sunday, April 15, 2007 @ 11:28 in Culture by Michael Vazquez

It's got all the elements of your classic graf story: dedicated writers, a clued-out bureaucrat hell-bent on stoppin' em, a well-meaning adult who helps 'em make the transition from "writer" to "artist" as they face the pressures of gettin up, crossing over and gettin' paid...and it's true! Or, as the filmmakers put it:

Follow the lives of 4 graffiti artists in Los Angeles as they evolve from street tags to graffiti bombing to canvas art to gallery showings. The artists come from different backgrounds, paint the same walls, and move on to jail, art school, and beyond as the culture clash of art versus vandalism meets them head on. Join the young artists as they struggle to reach beyond the gangster-thug perceptions, and become artists in their own right, giving the world their piece of mind.

Enough talk, here's the trailer:
