Beautiful Losers is a documentary by Aaron Rose about a group of like-minded outcasts that found common ground at a small New York City storefront gallery in the early 90’s, and later went on to influence an entire generation with their unique takes on art. The cast almost reads like a who’s who of street art; featuring artists such as Shepard Fairey, ESPO, Barry McGee and Chris Johanson.
They all share the same bond of coming from sub-cultures deeply rooted in do-it-yourself mentality - like punk, hip-hop, skateboarding and graffiti. The documentary primarily focuses on telling their personal stories on what motivated them and how they developed their craft.
Beautiful Losers will be released sometime during spring/summer 2008. Check out the official website for more the trailer and more info.
