Trailer and Website for Doug Pray’s Infamy: Documentary About Graffiti Artists

Filmmaker Doug Pray has directed a number of well-known documentaries; most notably Hype!, a movie covering the overexposure of the Seattle music scene in the 90’s, and Scratch, the definitive documentary on the art of DJing and turntablism. This time he turns his attention to graffiti culture with Infamy, a portrait of seven graffiti artists and their lives. There has been at least one other movie to cover graffiti and its relation hip-hop culture called Style Wars, but Pray says he wanted to delve more into the personal stories. “I didn’t want to make another ‘scene-movie’ or a general overview of subculture and its history. Instead, we’ve set out to create a more hard-hitting, personal portrayal of the pain and joy of being addicted to the only illegal art form there is.” Infamy premiered at RESfest last year. Check out the official website and trailer now at the link below.
