The film focuses on the New York arts scene of the 1990s and specifically the group which inspired an anti establishment rebellion in a new generation of young artists. Members of the new scene built upon their love and interest in punk, hip hop, skating and surfing to make an expression of their lives through DIY art.
The documentary follows their lives now, investigating their ambitions, influences and art whilst echoing back to the ethos which now separates and keeps the group together in their current projects. Private View DIYLondonseen Thursday 20th August
