    Buy your copy here: www.infamythemovie.com/
    INFAMY is an intense journey into the dangerous lives and obsessed minds of six of America's most prolific graffiti artists. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Doug Pray ("Hype!" and "Scratch") who teamed up with writer, publisher, and graffiti guru Roger Gastman, the movie takes you deep into the world of street legends SABER, TOOMER, JASE, CLAW, EARSNOT, and ENEM.
    With brutal honesty, humor and charisma, these artists reveal why they are so willing to risk everything to spray paint their cities with "tags," "throwups," and full-color murals. You'll also meet Joe "THE GRAFFITI GUERRILLA" Connolly, a notorious "buffer" who paints out graffiti on his neighborhood's walls with a vengeance matched only by those who vandalized them. From the streets of the South Bronx to the solitude of a San Francisco tunnel, from high atop a Hollywood billboard to North Philadelphia for a lesson in "Philly-style tags," from the Mexican border to a Cleveland train yard, INFAMY doesn't analyze or glorify graffiti... it takes you there and brings it to life.

    Little known fact about train graffiti: I work at a train yard, and we're told to let the graffiti artists go, as the paint keeps the metal from rusting. It's also probably one of the top ten topics of conversation on the yard.

Add social media like UA-cam to that, and the anonymity of being behind a screen, and you get people that just spew hatred. That’s no way to live. I’m not the happiest, most positive person, but I still question how the keyboard warriors can be so negative all the time.

    The real translation of sin is' to miss the point'. Christianity tells us the point is everlasting life(after we die) It's not. Life is everlasting when you are right in the moment. Graff gets you 'right in the moment' so technically it's Tai Chi Chuan/Kung Fu/Qi Qong/Meditation.

    This doco gives me flashbacks to when I was a little juvenile that used to tag, break and enter, and really had no regard for anyone but myself. I was introduced to a huge graffiti writer in the area through a friend of mine and he gave me this documentary on DVD and pretty much coached me through life for the next 3-4 years in the place of my father who I never had. Nostalgia right here.

      +JaySeeKay What's so special about being a white dude from the Deep South and liking Graffiti? (serious Question) +TheCondorjc No he isn't a Writer just because he likes Graff, even my Grandma would be a Writer then. You are a Writer if you go outside and do Graffiti, not just look at it and appreciate it. With that logic I would be a musician too, because I listen to music.
