Josh + I were asked to help spread the love from Mike Cerda at The Filmlot for the screening of the long awaited documentary of Beautiful Losers which many creative's of all types having been anticipating for! Josh + I are huge fans of the book, so we are very excited to actually see it on the big screen. Also our BFF, DJ IDULL will be providing wonderful tunes for the after party!
HMMMMM..... maybe some cupcakes will make it to the after-party from The Shoppe .......(wink!wink!).
Here is a little blurb that Mike sent us about the documentary:
The film, by first-time director Aaron Rose, profiles some of the uber-talented artists (Shepard Fairey, Mike Mills, Harmony Korine, Margaret Kilgallen, Ed Templeton and more... ) who got their start at the influential Alleged Gallery in NY. Some of them are now considered to be leaders of the urban/street art movement which has exploded onto the art world recently. But the film is not just about the artists, it also goes into their thoughts/philosophies about being a creative person too. Some of these artists are putting on art shows all over the world and some have even made films: Mike Mills directed Thumbsucker and Does Your Soul Have a Cold and Harmony Korine wrote KIDS and directed GUMMO. It's a really inspirational film that leaves audiences with a urgent desire to create something! It's definitely a 'must see' for anyone who creates!

Thursday May 22nd, 7pm at the Mayan theater
Aaron Rose (the director and the founder of the Alleged Gallery) will also be there for the event and will answer questions after the film.
Then we'll all head over to The Continental Club for the after party featuring DJ IDULL!
