Hello Graffiti Art & Film Lovers (go see this movie, I will),
The indie film Quality of Life comes to LA for its theatrical debut hot after a successful run (multiple sold-out nights) in NYC. It opens Memorial Day Weekend on Friday, May 26th at Laemmle's Fairfax 3 (on Beverly Blvd.).
Shot on location in San Francisco's Mission District, Quality of Life is not a documentary, but a narrative drama. It sheds light on a clandestine graffiti subculture, with an authentic and riveting story of two young taggers who struggle to maintain their friendship as their lives unravel and the cops close in.
A former at-risk kid himself, director Benjamin Morgan's connection to the underground youth of today accentuates the film’s Cinéma Vérité style. Says Morgan, “I set out to make this film to expose the absurdity of so-called ‘quality of life’ laws. The tough-on-crime political climate has become endemic in the United States. After working in the juvenile justice and mental health fields for over a decade, I became frustrated with the systemic flaws inherent in youth programs...”
