i live in a cave , i don't know anything, i live in my own cartoon porno universe shrouded in a a safe bubblicious bubble flavored with, denial, stupidity, and ignorance.
message from harry kim:
Dirty Hands has been on a seven year journey, starting back in 2000 with several different directors behind the helm,while picking up more seriously over the last four years. Since then I’ve been working, whoring, begging, and borrowing to finish the film. I’ve maxed out eight credit cards and have to pay $1000 a month just to keep from defaulting. I’m also enrolled as a half time student at community college so I don’t have to make payments on school loans. And my income is so low that the state offers these classes to me for free. Yes I’m so poor that I get free community college classes.
But now the edit is done, basically the movie is almost done, i'm at the finish line,all of my resources are out, and the movie still needs money to finish(mixing,sound editing, music rights, animation, color correcting, L.A. riots footage , etc.). I’ve never wanted to ask Dave for anything financially in the making of the film since I wanted to make an honest documentary. Dave also thought that would be best. So, while Dave and I have been friends from childhood, his career has been taking off during the making of the documentary while I have been going further into debt and I refused to take money from Dave(not to actually help finish the movie , but to have it destroyed, in the last 4 years , dave has offered half jokingly, to dead seriously offer to buy my movie,only to have it destroyed so no one ever see's it). But as a good friend, Dave wanted to help me out, so at this point I finally asked for it. We put our heads together and Dave decided he would generously donate a painting to the cause. The film will take only what it needs to finish from the proceeds.
One of Dave’s 3ft by 3ft paintings from his SKRUNCHFACE series, immediately post jail, made back in 2004, it's oil, housepaint, and spray paint , coated in layers of polyurethane on canvas, with a thick black wood frame. I have offered it up to the films investors, currently i have an offer for 15 grand from New York City(a painting from this same series just sold for over 50 grand in san francisco), unless i have any other offers, starting on Saturday December 15 up till December 22, the beginning of winter solstice, i will go with this offer, please post your bids to info@dirtyhandsmovie.com. If you purchase this painting, it will carry the added significance of being the painting that finished the movie. Your help is greatly appreciated.
message from dave choe: thank you to the gentleman from D.C. that purchased the painting i had in the oakland fundraiser for the kids, you saved the fucking kids, we were all kids once, we were all fucked up, now they have someplace to go, thanks.
