Featuring some of the most influential artists of today, BEAUTIFUL LOSERS tells the inspiring story of likeminded outsiders who subvert convention and inadvertently become leaders of popular culture. It follows eleven individuals who developed their various crafts in the undergrounds of NYC.
This group and their non-conformist ethos have now become a
movement in itself that is transforming sub-culture and shedding new light on mainstream America.
BEAUTIFUL LOSERS addresses the issues of ‘growing up’ and draws upon the cultural and economic diversity of America. The film invites the viewer to share the passions of internationally acclaimed ‘artists’ who followed the Do-It-Yourself mentality.
Their love of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop and graffiti developed into their own artistic creations, making art and film that reflected their personal lifestyles which in turn created a unique innovation where freedom of expression was key.
