UP THERE is a beautiful and breathtaking little film about mural hand painted advertising.
“I’ve seen traffic accidents. I’ve seen naked girls. I’ve seen shootings. I’ve seen fights. And they don’t even know that you’re there.” .:NYC Muralist
While living in New York, I was fascinated by two things that were close to the sky: The industrial rooftops that surrounded me… and the old school hand painting muralists that I was happy to catch in action from time to time. This short film is a great homage to these increasingly rare artists, who are rapidly being replaced by digitally printed vinyl.
