Street Art…
-
A bit of a thread revival. I was in SF with the fam for our 21st anniversary, to return to the place where our relationship began. I met my wife when I was making this documentary (Piece by Piece) and by chance it happened to be playing when we were in town (I found out the morning of the showing!). I couldn’t ask for a better way to show the movie to my son.

This is a story I'd like to hear
Me too, because IMDb does not have a whole lot on it:

We have a street art festival in Denver each year.

Thanks @ARNC, I am in my client's office in Waterloo most weeks. I will try to find it.

@Bridger not far from the Waterloo Tap, if that helps!
It does, thanks. I used to enjoy Euston Tap, but have not been there in a while.

@GraemeE & @tody - the quick story is that my friend, Nic, started a college project that snowballed into a full feature length documentary. We were both writing graffiti at the time in SF and it struck us as odd that there wasn’t a historical document of the subculture. So we decided to make it.
The movie aims to capture the history of how graffiti came about in SF from Latino gangs in the 70’s and then becoming its own thing through the decades. There are also some tragic stories in the movie, most notably would be that of TIE. He was killed by a home owner who had caught him coming down a fire escape. I didn’t realize it then, but the movie has captured interviews and art by folks who have passed away since its filming. In the crowd of this particular showing was the son of an artist, DREAM, who was murdered in Oakland. I found it profound to speak to him after the showing and learn how this movie captured his father.
I feel lucky and honored to have played a part in making this. It was a wild ride. I made plenty of friends through it, travelled to Europe for festival showings and most notably met my wife because of it.

@Inorganic Thank you for that much of background information. I'll try to get ahold of a copy on this side of the pond.

I honestly thought this was a marquee for a Christian rock show.
