Brief Synopsis

​Exploring the underground society of graffiti artists in Hamilton Ontario, we discuss the unspoken rules of street art with some notorious figures of that community. We introduce the "Writer's Den", a graffiti shop, and place for these young artists to hang out and share their passion for the art form.

This documentary connects with the Hamiltonian population, as well as anybody that has come across a seemingly unintelligible message on a city wall. The Hamilton Spectator reported that in 2018, approximately 3,425 pieces of graffiti were seen by the public, and any Hamiltonian local can easily identify the city as a hotbed for street art activity. While anybody can see these messages, very few can actually identify and trace the specific pieces back to their creators, and our film intends to educate urban locals on the complex social environment beneath the vandalism.
