About the film:
-“A new Wizard of Oz for the Anarchist Street Youth.”
- Charlie Ahearn, Director of 'Wild Style' @Wild Style
-“Unreality has made an unexpected narrative incursion into the usually predictable world of Graffiti Art or maybe this is Graffiti’s break-in into the abandoned back lot of the Brothers Grimm.”
- Bill Daniel, Director of 'Who is Bozo Texino? : The Secret History of Hobo Graffiti' and author of 'Mostly True.'
In a post apocalyptic world, the last few remaining inhabitants are the spirit animals of graffiti writers. Three solitary nomadic vandals (played by: Wolftits, Avoid, and Smells) cross paths while on the hunt of the meaning behind the abandoned landscape’s prevailing enigmatic artwork left behind by UFO. Roaming from one decaying zone to the next in a never ending search for beer, weed, and a wall to paint, these artists form a pact with the rest of the desperate survivors (played by Rambo, Noxer, EKG and others). Through the practice of their ritualistic art- they will seek to attain truth and ultimately receive the answer to the question of their futility- “what’s the point?”
The film was made possible in part from a residency with Clocktower Productions in New York City.

Sergio Mora (Florida) "I have always used art to communicate the depth of emotion that grips the human experience, exposing hidden truths beneath the surface of our day-to-day interactions - a poet first and foremost who evolved into a Performance Artist in order to challenge myself artistically and work within and against physical and mental limitations," from Artist Site: http://www.sergiormora.com.
