What a winner in niche cinema James Bolton has directed and written!
The story is simple enough to understand.... youth creating their own ideals and learning that life will hate you because of it.
Our loner skateboarding and graffiti artist, Nick, spends his days creating his art. He meets a like skateboarder graffiti artist Jesse. The two spend time together boarding and creating graffiti. In this strained relationship Nick thinks there is more to it than Jesse is willing to give. The two eventually go their separate ways.
Jesse is the realist and suggest Nick 'sell' his art. Here the message of this film becomes clear - Nick has decided that his art must be free, money would corrupt it. At this time Jesse is supporting Nick. Nick has no money.
In the end we see Nick having to sleep in the alleyways and continue to steal his food. His Art is his purpose and he would rather suffer rejection and poverty than compromise himself. His pain is his inspiration and he knows it.
If you remain true to your creative self society will reject you!
