The Graffiti Artist
Directed by James Bolton
Produced by Mettray Reformatory Pictures
A moody character study of a young street artist navigating identity, rebellion, and connection in the nocturnal urban landscape of the Pacific Northwest.
Adrift in the lush, nocturnal urban landscape of THE GRAFFITI ARTIST, Nick (Ruben Bansie-Snellman) is a post-modern urban hero asserting his anarchistic agenda on the endless maze of virgin exterior walls that comprise downtown Seattle and Portland. For this iconoclastic young visionary, the vast wall surfaces of deserted alleys and train yards are at once a daunting symbol of capitalist oppression and a texturally rich, seamless tableau ripe for exploitation to amplify his artistic dialectic of anger and rebellion.
