April 4, 2012Some of the acting is a bit shabby but its an Awesome Look into the world of a Graffiti artist! (This is about as close as it gets!)

April 4, 2012This film is directed by my college screenwriting professor. This film is really good for such a low-budget independent film. I really enjoyed the stationary camera shot, and there was some really great cinematography. The characters were well written and I think that the end is... read more

April 4, 2012I liked this movie, because it seems like one not many people have seen of heard about. I also like movies that are about urban communities because the fact most are so real to life.

Ted Shen, Chicago Reader

Steve Schneider, Orlando Weekly
It's up to the consistently fluid ensemble acting and colloquially sound dialogue to keep things on track, which they do admirably. Full Review

Paul Malcolm, L.A. Weekly

Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
