INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER BOB BRYAN HAS PRODUCED AN AMAZINGDOCUMENTARY VIDEO SERIES THAT EXPLORES THE ECLECTIC WORLD OF HIP-HOP AND THE URBAN GRAFFITI ARTIST
Artist: MEAR Graffiti Verite’: Read the Writing on the Wall is a ground breaking Documentary that includes interviews and behind-the-scenes views of 24 Los Angeles’ most prolific and talented Graffiti Artists. Graffiti Verite’s conversations vary from comparative discussions on Graffiti’s ancestral connection to ritualistic hieroglyphics and cavewritings, to discussions of Graffiti Art as a form of a "street level" propaganda, and "public art gallery" for the anonymous public. . SINCE EMERGING FROM THE UNDERGROUND, GRAFFITI ART HAS EXPLODED AS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY ART HISTORY With GV2: Freedom of Expression?, Bob Bryan has proven once again that there’s more to the Graffiti Art movement than at first glance. Flying high above Los Angeles in a "ghetto bird", GV2 begins by looking down on our streets, seeking out those Artists who ply their incendiary craft on the walls of our cities, while we sleep. GV3 IS A POETIC VOYAGE, A MEDITATION INTO THE ICONOGRAPHY OF GRAFFITI ART! GV3: A Voyage into the Iconography of Graffiti Art probes the socio-political context that distracts the average person from appreciating the artistic and social impact of Graffiti Art. Featuring an eclectic sound track as its emotional and intellectual core, GV3 is a compelling sensorial experience, shockingly honest and defiantly politically incorrect! THE COMPLETE HOW-TO-DO VIDEO ON CREATING GRAFFITI ART GV4: The Basic Techniques for Creating Graffiti Art on Walls and Canvas is the ultimate Primer/Tutorial and Step-by-Step Program on Spray Can Art. GV4 is a popular "must-have-Video" for Writers, Art Instructors, Art Students, Galleries, Museums, Libraries and Educational Institutions who've been bewildered at Spray Can Technique. As a "unique lesson plan," no other program exists in the marketplace of ideas that can compare to the inspiration, skill and intelligence of GV4.
Artist: MANONE The Hip-Hop Curriculum Teachers Workshop Guide will be simultaneously released (separately priced) along with the companion documentary Graffiti Verite' 5: The Sacred Elements of Hip-Hop (GV5). GV5 reflect all the elements of the contemporary urban Hip-hop movement, as well as, its relevant history ans special uniqueness as a multi-faceted communications medium. These elements include Turntablism ( DJing ), Break dancing, MC’ing (Rapping) and Graffiti Art. In addition, the Curriculum Workshop will include hands-on exercises, which can be performed in a classroom setting i.e.: Teaching the art of writing poetry vs. the Oral and written traditions of Rap, MCing etc.

"Graffiti Verite' does for Los Angeles what Style Wars did for New York!" -Art Crimes
"This fascinating documentary chronicling urban street art forgoes narration to let 24 young, LA based hip-hop Graffiti Artists tell their own stories, with words and with spray cans." -Blockbuster Video
"The colorful, neon-like murals seen here (far removed from ugly gang territory markings are, rather, the brash Picasso’s of hip-hop culture." -Booklist Review
"Appropriate and useful classroom material..." - Committee for The LA
County Officee of Education "Intelligent and in depth. It's 45 minutes of art, from gallery shows to the stuff on the streets. Graffiti Verite’is sure to open your eyes." - Juxtapox Magazine |

"The documentary’s narration is done by the spray-painter’s themselves... they trace the history of Los Angeles graffiti to the pre-aerosol days of the 1940’s, explaining the evolution of lettering styles and the expansion of tagging into what they call ‘piecing." - Los Angeles Times
"I kept being reminded of the works of Keith Haring and Salvador Dali. I guess in some ways all arts begin as rebellion! The MBC would be honored to add the program (Graffiti Verite') to our extensive collection of award-winning documentaries!" - The Museum of Broadcast Communications
"The strength of your videotape is that you focus on the commentary of the Artists... to understand their thinking and what motivates them is really important to an appreciation of this art form." - The Museum of Contemporary Art
"... The minority Artists are so well represented and come across with such integrity, intelligence and cultural and artistic knowledge. This will do a great deal to help dispel the usually wrong impression that Graffiti Artists are anti-intellectual and unaware of anything other than their own wish to express themselves..." - National Museum, Smithsonian Institute
"Close-up and personal! This newly released and beautifully produced documentary uncovers the underground Los Angeles graffiti movement and explores its relation to contemporary hip-hop culture." - Public Art Review
"Graffiti Verite' is a visually hypnotic ride!" -Remote Jockey Digest
"GV2 is truly one of the best documentaries on Graf art that I've ever been privy to seeing. Bob Bryan is extremely successful at depicting Graffiti art as an unsung and unrecognized source of some of the most original and culturally rich artwork of the 20th Century. It likens Graffiti to the impressionists of the early 1900's. Viewing this film makes me see the talent that is going unnoticed in the art-world. " -Golden Child, Hip-Hop Now
"He credits such diverse influences as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rubens, Duchamp, and Japanese animation as well as music - reggae, traditional, and hip-hop - and social and political forces. GV4 shows Sano in action from the conception of an idea to the final execution of his design. Once the mural is complete, he offers ideas for using aerosol art on canvas and demonstrates its fine art potential by creating a realistic portrait in black and white. An unusual take on an often maligned art form, this video will inspire art students." - Lauri Edwards, Susquehanna Art Museum, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL July 2003 Issue / Multimedia Review "He has good can control, and was able to explain exactly what he was doing, every step of the way. I've always been one to be against sharing our last untapped art form, with the public, for fear it would be diluted and it's origins forgotten. But I think videos like GV4 give it the respect it deserves, before it's looked at as just another hip culture wagon to jump on." ~Crush One
" I've been interested in street art for years, but growing up in an area with draconian anti-graffiti laws, knowledge of this art-form has been elusive. Imitating the style on paper has been easy, but the actual aerosol techniques are not. Now, finally... someone has shared their knowledge with me, and I am more complete for it. Sano is truly a master at his art form, and it is a pleasure to watch him work his craft." -Cliff - Anchorage, Alaska.
"Following multi-award winning Graffiti Verité: Read the Writing on the Wall, this edition addresses the history of graffiti - from tagging gang territory, to the importance of letter-style to the figurative art of graffiti and its establishment in the art world. In GV2, we talk to many graffiti artists and see some of the expansion: graphics for big time T-shirt companies, surf and snow board graphics, exhibitions in private galleries, multi-media installations and the collections at the Smithsonian." -Filmwest Associates |

"In GV2, Bryan expands the perspective to include the views of not only LA writers such as Chaz, Skill, Vyal and Slick but also New York legends Mare 139 and Haze. The verite' aspect of GV2 is evident in the way that Bryan allows his subjects to say their piece without censorship or positioning quotes. GV2: FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION? is a stunning look at the hip-hop subculture that has developed a lifestyle and movement of its own. -Eric K. Arnold, The Source Magazine "Regarding GV4, I liked it allot. It was timely that an instructional tape would be produced not only to instruct but inform viewers of the broad range of issues involved with doing a production. -Mare 139 Writer / Associate Producer, StyleWars DVD "Required viewing for all citizens of big cities that don’t understand the significance and impact of graffiti..." - Rap Pages Magazine "This well-produced examination of an underground art form, explained by the Artists who created it will add a new dimension to Art classes and to library video collections. We recommend its use in High School and College Art classes." -School Library Journal "There is a great energy in this video! Oftentimes the film is extremely moving, provocative and allows the audience to really understand this art form..." -Umbrella Magazine "The work shown in the video is very impressive, even more so when you consider that the primary tool here is a can of spray paint." -Video Librarian Review "A must - see video to understand what is happening to the inner world of today’s urban children!" -Wisconsin Bookwatch "The documentary shows hundreds of graffiti examples and lets the artists discuss, with varying degrees of articulateness, how graffiti has evolved from street art to gallery representation and even collaboration with such respected institutions as L.A.'s Museum of Contemporary .Art. This video belongs in art schools and, with its effective snapshot of mid-1990s life, in collections that focus on popular culture." -Library Journal "I respect Mr. Bryan for having the vision to offer up this impressive How-to-do video. I can't wait to apply these new techniques on Canvas for my students in my Art classroom." -A. Davio / Art Instructor "GV4 is Awesome ! My students (8th grade) are totally inspired by it. I’d like a copy of the original Graffiti Verite’." -Melissa Trujillo, 8th Grade Art Teacher "In GV4, there's enough info in here about conceptualizing your piece, detailing techniques, using different caps, can control, colour fades and more to get you started. SANO takes you through every step of the process, both on a large wall and on Canvas. SANO's understated charisma carries the film, and if you want to be inspired by a master at work, this movie's unbeatable. -Shift Magazine " I enjoyed GV4 the most of the entire collection. I appreciated the fact that you chose an artist who is very talented and has the eloquence to explain his creative technique very thoroughly minus the bravado. Anyone who is interested in learning the basic aspects of aerosol art should purchase GV4. SANO is an artist of depth." -James Stone "In a three-part format -- preliminary sketch, painting the wall, and painting on canvas -- the film balances tutorial with cultural observation, becoming a miniature portrait of Sano in the process. Explaining technique, can control, detailing, and embracing Wild Style as “a new form of communication,” Sano’s an engaging personality driven by an infectious enthusiasm. He creates two pieces inGV4. The sixty-foot mural links his signature with images that flow from atomic devastation to hints of erotica. While it echoes his many influences (spanning from Leonardo to anime), the work emerges as a vibrant personal offering. Graffiti is character and declaration bared for the masses. On a much smaller scale, Sano’s portrait of Tupac Shakur is beautifully rendered, using black and white spray paint on canvas. Although lacking the range of the mural, it’s far more intimate, and the evolution through shaping and outline becomes a quietly mesmerizing procedure." -Ray Young, Flickhead THE E-FANZINE OF DIVERSE FILM ESOTERICA |
