Description:

Director / Producer / Director of Photography, Bob Bryan has produced for BRYAN WORLD PRODUCTIONS an amazing new 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.

GRAFFITI VERITE's conversations vary from comparative discussions on Graffiti's ancestral connection to Ritualistic Hieroglyphics and cave writings to discussions of Graffiti Art as a form of street-level propaganda and Public Art Gallery for the anonymous public.

Graffiti Art succeeds as underground counter-programming which is aimed at the same target audience that the Powerful Madison Avenue Mass Media is directed at, albeit with a decidedly different message....

Graffiti Art has a contact visceral effect on its audience because Graf Art goes way beyond Art orderliness and conventions, expressing itself through complex design lettering patterns (wild-style), rude colors and strange characters.

Graffiti Artists dare to communicate to us, by any means, despite the misconceptions and restrictions! Yet, paradoxically Graffiti Art is still all about Fame and Popularity.

In GRAFFITI VERITE', a Graffiti Artist recalls that when he was in Grade school his teacher asked him What do you want to be when you grow up? His response, I want to be either a Terrorist or an Artist...

GRAFFITI VERITE' is the first up close and personal expose' into the Graffiti Art World as experienced by 24 ARTISTS whose artistic tool of choice is the Spray can.

I quickly discovered as I was shooting GRAFFITI VERITE', says Bob Bryan, & how serious and dedicated these Artists are about their work. The real truth about Graffiti Art completely destroys the old stereotyped image that Graffiti is only about vandalism and tag-banging.

Nothing could be further from the truth! These inspired artists efforts are Art Intended, irregardless of whether or not they paint on a wall or a canvas.

Bob Bryan, Director / Executive Producer / Director of Photography From Street Art to Gallery Art Showings GRAFFITI VERITE' (The truth about Graffiti) forces us to re-think about our Cultural Reality as well as to expose us to more cutting edge Graffiti Art than has even been seen before in one venue.

GRAFFITI VERITE' is a must-see Video if you care at all about what's happening to our culture as well as to the inner world of our children.

Ready or not, GRAFFITI ART is the next Great Art Movement after POP ART!

5"I Got it!"Apr 06, 2012
By Bryan
I have a confession to make I am, well, what you would consider a rocker. I am not a full on punk with piercings and look like I've just been released from
the bowls of hell. I am just a dude who prefers rock. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate some good hiphop,though I am into more independent hip-hop.

SO about the film, I thought it made it's point strongly and clearly and if a documentary does that it has done it's job. Graffiti is an art, an art that should be appreciated because on those city walls the artist has left an impression of himself, to the core of it, the art is a piece of him.
They made something very clear. That was that tagging and graffiti are two separate things. They said tags are a simple "cry" for attention and that when
you progressed and wanted more from your tag and you wanted it to say more your tag evolved into graffiti art. I sometimes confused the two, especially at first.

Also, I saw that this film (Graffiti Verite': Read The Writing on the Wall) showed graffiti that was from my perspective typical graffiti, not to lump it all, but there is a distinction that I have noticed in graffiti. There is your common tag which has been modified to the point were the tag becomes so elaborate it becomes graffiti art. There is a hybrid in which you include words with a picture, and then there are the grand elaborate depictions sometimes with words but the picture shadows the words.

Ultimately, they make the point that for a graffiti artist to be recognized, they must get an education. I believe that to a point. I say that these artist should
get an education so that when asked what their art, is about they are able to articulate their ideas in order to get their point across more clearly. Yes, their art does express this but unfortunately for society to understand them, they must be able to communicate to society. On the other hand, they shouldn't need acquire a degree to be recognized as an artist. If they went to a college, who the FFU***KK is going to teach them graffiti! I don't think there is any professor licensed to teach that. The only way to learn graffiti art is to
practice it and to know yourself, so you can put that into your art.

With all that said, I felt Graffiti Verite': Read The Writing On The Wall, taught me allot and that's why it got five out of five stars. ---Reviewed By: Berto Rodriguez

5That old getting dirty feelingDec 08, 2006
By Richard Aguas
Why are people making things look new in a dank, dark and decripate surronding ? Because somebody else did it. Graffiti V is cool because people give accounts of situations gone horribly bad. You can feel the feeling of something not right in the surrondings. This is more dark cinema from the recordings of questionable content. This is the product of environment and what actually went down for these people. I never knew what went down over there but this the footage.
