A documentary that follows Basquiat's life pre-fame and how the city, the people and the movements surrounding him formed the artist he became. Using never-before-seen works, writings and photographs, director Sara Driver, a part of the New York arts scene herself, worked closely and collaboratively with friends and other artists who emerged from that period: Jim Jarmusch, James Nares, Fab Five Freddy, Glenn O’Brien, Kenny Scharf, Lee Quinones, Patricia Field, Luc Sante and many others. Nominated for Best Documentary at the **Cleveland International Film Festival** "*What's refreshing about Sara Driver's look-back documentary...is the frisky, contemplative, ground-level angle it takes on its hype-magnet of a subject.*" - Robert Abele, ***The Los Angeles Times***
