decade in the making , I thought I could slip this one through the
cracks of my parents sight, however my new nightmare, my parents
have just figured out how to use the internet(THEY ARE READING THIS RIGHT NOW!!)
and they are internet stalking, and they’re favorite subject is me, so they
found out about the LA film premire (thanks harry ! I cant thank
you enough for choosing L.A. my parents hometown for the premiere
of your fucking movie, you fucking asshole), if you are a sick fuck,
and want to
watch the slow motion car accident , which is watching my parents
watch their son act like a complete fool and watch footwear fall
out of women’s asses, on the big screen on opening night. From this
moment,There is nothing I will ever write, draw, photograph or paint ,
that ends up online that will ever escape my parents sight…. Great.

Dirty Hands: The Art & Crimes of David Choe
preview:
PREVIEW
Documentary Competition
(USA, 2008, 92 mins)
World Premiere
Directed By: Harry Kim
The documentary is based on the titled subject, David Choe, a young near-schizophrenic American street artist who executes any and every idea that pops into his delinquent imagination. The film begins in the year 2000, when director Harry Kim decided to document Choe upon his dropping out of art school in order to pursue his creative dreams without abandon.
Choe devises numerous criminal schemes that afford him to hitchhike across the globe via trains, planes and automobiles. By skirting the legal constraints of society, he is allowed to “freely” create his art. Eventually, his nonchalant law-breaking style lands him in serious trouble. After a series of arrests, he finds himself in solitary confinement in a Tokyo prison, totally broken down and uncharacteristically still. During these dark times, he finds himself reflecting on his own selfish history, one riddled with heartache caused to his friends, family and his long-term girlfriend. Upon release from prison, a radically religious Choe, returns home with the hope that he can overcome his criminal temptations and repair the damage caused to loved ones.
Director Harry Kim fully captures the complexity of Choe through a collage work of archived home video from Choe’s childhood, still photographs, intimate artwork, animation and eight years of footage shot while on the road with the artist.
