“Beautiful Losers’ A Film About Artists Who Pioneered The Do-it-Yourself Way

Posted by editor@vimooz.com on March 8, 2009 under Art, Documentary | Comments are off for this article

“Beautiful Losers,” directed by Aaron Rose and Joshua Leonard, follows a collection of American artists, including Shepard Fairey of Obey notoriety and “Thumbsucker” director Mike Mills, with various roots in graffiti, skateboarding, surfing, hip-hop and punk cultures, until they reached adulthood.

Referred to as freaks, weirdos, punks and losers, the film focuses on how the group pioneered the do-it-yourself way. It was a subculture made by kids, for kids. But kids grow up, as these artists inevitably have, but they have been able to stay true to their old ways.  [via]
