ITEM OVERVIEW
This book is a rare glimpse into the world of graffiti and ultra-low budget filmmaking, with a DIY film school, behind-the-scenes interviews with key cast and crew, the annotated original screenplay and rare San Francisco graffiti photos. This book gives back something to other aspiring filmmakers, while making it compelling for the graffiti subculture. The book outlines the filmmakers' fast-paced, ultra-indie Graffiti Model of filmmaking, using Quality of Life as the case study. Unique and often outrageous photos from the San Francisco graffiti scene are scattered throughout the book, with a scrapbook of clippings and mementos from the film's production and festival run.
Shot on location in San Francisco's Mission District, the movie sheds light on a clandestine graffiti subculture, telling an authentic and gripping story of two young graffiti writers whose friendship and lives unravel after they get arrested.
