Graffiti Verite'' became a multi Award-Winning cultural tour d' force. A definitive statement that spoke of Graffiti as a legitimate Artistic expression had now arrived on the Art Scene and could no longer be ignored, berated or relegated to the fringes of polite Art society. GV1 Read The Writing on the Wall An amazing multi Award-Winning Documentary that explores the eclectic world of Hip-Hop and the urban Graffiti Artist. Graffiti Verite' is a 45 minute groundbreaking Documentary that includes interviews and behind the scenes views of 24 of Los Angeles' most prolific and talented Graffiti Artists. continue... GV2 Freedom of ExpreSSion? Indie documentary filmmaker Bob Bryan has proven once again with his new documentary GV2 that there's much more to the Graffiti Art Movement than at first glance. Flying high above Los Angeles in a "ghetto bird," GV2 starts out by looking down on our streets, seeking out those artists who ply their incendiary craft on the walls of our cities while we sleep. continue... GV3 A Voyage into the Iconography of Graffiti Art is a poetic voyage, a meditation into the iconography of Graffiti Art featuring an eclectic soundtrack as it's emotional and intellectual core. GV3 is a compelling sensorial experience, shockingly honest and defiantly politically incorrect. GV3 follows in the Golden footsteps of Bryan's documentaries Graffiti Verite' and GV2: Freedom of ExpreSSion? which are both considered urban classics and are currently in world-wide distribution. continue...

LITERARY PAGE POETRY GV6 THE ODYSSEY: Poets, Passion & Poetry "If you can buy only one poetry program this year, buy this odyssey of 31 poets who read, rant, and philosophize about what they do.

Viewers who already love poetry will be grateful to have so much solid poetry at hand and hear it read so well by its creators. Those new to poetry or unfamiliar with the art will get a gentle and stimulating education.

From Grand-Slam Champions to Open-Mic Veterans, GV7 crosses all philosophical, racial, sexual and social lines, becoming the quintessential SPOKEN-WORD documentary! continue... BEAT-BOXING GV8 THE FIFTH ELEMENT: The Art of the Beat Boxer At the heart of old-school Hip-Hop were the human beat-boxers who spewed out the percussive beats that drove the MCs' rhymes home, from the depths of their throats to the tips of their tongues. This documentary celebrates them! Los Angeles beat-box artists Click 88, Pretty Chi and Joshua Silverstein talk tools, techniques and what it takes to turn beats into art. Performance footage shows an art form evolving. continue... THE DJ (TURNTABLISM) GV9 SOULFUL WAYS: The DJ "I don't know about you, but where I sit the machinations of what a DJ actually does behind the "wheels" are downright fascinating. Consider the superior manual dexterity that is required to manipulate faders, switchers, equalizers, turntables (usually 2) all seemingly near simultaneous in their execution, in order to create a beat! Imagine? Watching those fingers move, tweak, manipulate, skratch, push, slide and reverse actions is a sight-to-behold. The counter-intelligence at play here is awe-inspiring and unique!" continue... HIP-HOP DANCE GV10 HIP-HOP DANCE: Moving in the Moment is an intensely entertaining, educational & exhaustive documentary, defining it's essential character from start to finish! It's all here!... GV10 is an engaging documentary (from multi award-winning filmmaker Bob Bryan) that personalizes the Hip-Hop dance experience for those artists who "live it" to those of us who "receive it". This specific and complex text, this living, dynamic kinesthetic language is borne out of their life experiences, the love of the game and the music that moves them. Whether you call it Breakin', BBoyin', BGirlin' or simply Hip-Hop Dance, what we witness here is authentically Funky and Soulful. These talented & expressive dancers strive to be "in the moment" and when it's good, what gets expressed in movement, is spirit-filled, awe-inspiring and explosive! continue...
