Lets Be Honest - This is as Independent as Films get.

[filmeddows-59524 · 6/10 · 24 July 2021]

This movie is definitely a 3 Star film if judged mainly on it's budget.

There is also about 20-30minutes of this film I could have done without, but then again if it wasn't a Feature I may never have watched it.

Let me make one thing clear. I love this film. It is the exact film I needed to watch, about the right subject matter, at this very moment in my life.

Thank you.

This film comes across as a student film excellently executed. Lets say as a Film maker yet to take the leap of faith to make a 90 minute film. I am Fan boying right here, and look forward to following this director and the team into the future.

Everything about this film is Independent, and I can only guess that the Music which is superb would have been the greatest expense.

This film is a must watch for any aspiring artists or filmmaker.

The story is equal to the drive to make the film and you can feel the love of everyone involved pouring through the screen. Films don't do that any more. Everything these days is so formulaic and I love that this movie has it's finger prints left still in the clay it was molded from.

For anyone wanting to watch this film. If your expecting a high quality production that is going to require no concentration at all. This is not the film for you.

BUT...

If you are looking for a film that shows a heartfelt perspective of every young adult hoping to make something of themselves in a creative field. This is the in-depth film you are looking for.

Alexander Raye Pimentel, I look forward to seeing your other films and do not give up. I hope to sit with you on a panel one day. <3.

Without a doubt one of the worst Street Art films to have ever been created. Movies are like graffiti in that just because you can doesn't mean you should, as in you can watch "INFAMY" which was referenced in the movie and see REAL graffiti. Straight letters and paste ups are cringe, if you're doing something like that you do it in a high volume area. I get this must've been an experience for everyone involved in making it but the art is bad the graffiti is bad what makes real street art movies stand out like "Wildstyle" "Style wars" and "INFAMY" is the authenticity and that those people were from the culture not disconnected and studying it and not only that is there wasn't a shortage of good and distinct styles that they spent years honing and socializing with their peoples to adopt things they've learned instead of tagging super moderate phrases about cellphones and living paycheck to paycheck and the reviews hyping this up is why garbage like this gets to production phase be real with yourself and your crew with each other instead of gambling time, resources and money on trying to do something important to a culture you don't have access to. This is not a shepard fairey story lmfao or banksy sorry to rip but try a different genre and actually study the space you are working in no matter the genre. Be a student.

1/10

I regret watching it. The main actor comes off stale and awkward. The plot is non existent. The main dude doesn't even know what he's doing. So plot itself and as a movie itself. It's horrible. But if you're looking at it as an independent filming crew trying to make movies. It's still somewhat okay? Maybe.

I wanted it to be good...

As a real graffiti/ street artist I wanted to believe this was going to be great. Within the first minute, the artist has no hand style using floor marker wearing crocs.

I skipped abit to see if would I improve but I had to quit whilst I was ahead. Lacked a true reflection on the culture.

A Shepard Fairey Story!!

This is a Love Letter to Street Art. Street Art thrives off of the fact that it's an individual's Effort to throw Art in your Face!! That's what this movie really does!!

Vandalize the Video On Demand Market!!

Banksy started as a regular guy!!

If you're a fan of Street Art and Indie Movies than this will hit home for you. Can't stress it enough, if you don't like low-budget movies than just avoid this, go watch something on Netflix and don't pretend you can hate on something that isn't 'your cup of tea.' Art is Subjective.

AKA = kinda the point of this entire movie right?

Found this on an illegal site, oh well, either way this whole plot was engaging and really made me think of what Banksy must have been thinking and going through during his time in the DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ). Nobody discusses this now that he is famous, but he didn't really stencil at the time and was in a period of trying to understand what his style was. This is a low budget reflection on what being an Artist is! Go out and Make ART is what I got out of this Film!! Nice job to the Team who put it together!

Haters are going to HATE.

Keep Making Movies!!!

I am a huge fan to these filmmakers for the fact they put Everyday Folks in front of the Camera, they just tell whatever story and no matter how imperfect it is, they just keep going! This felt like a very personally fueled film about someone struggling with identity and where their future will go! We all deal with these similar issues in one context or another! What type of Story is next??

A Reflection of our Times

I am not a film critic, and made a profile on IMDb to comment on what this movie was as an experience.

I had stumbled upon this while voting for a friend's documentary in the Los Angeles Lift-Off Film Festival 2021 'Judge's Select Features.' I struggled with my vote due to the fact I wasn't pleased with this movie and yet after some consideration, voted for it.

I was expecting elaborate paintings of mural style graffiti. I don't particularly go out of my way to consider graffiti, yet alone appreciate it. What struck me at first was the stark difference between the interviewing of Ronnie's character and the handheld grittiness of how his day to day trials play out. I feel as audiences we all too often figure out the intricacies of a plot and feel as though the message is now unimportant. People go through life and meet challenges that are mundane to other's but we have to find ways of overcoming our insecurities and make decisions. I believe that's what this movie is truly about. Many will think things like this guy should suck it up, deal with it and just do what he wants to do. I don't believe that's how it works, you have to work through things, find personal courage and then push our lives in different directions. Low budget movie making requires finding ways of communication that are minimalistic. That is precisely what these filmmakers did without sacrificing honesty.

Disclaimer: If you're looking for a hollywood presentation of pizazz do not watch this movie. You will be very unsatisfied. This is a character piece.

Cheers!
