I <3 Latin boys

Seriously, I do ....


I'm hella excited about Friday's SF opening for "Wassup Rockers". It seems like it's been forever since I found out about this movie and now it's finally here. For those of you who don't know, the movie comes from "Kids" director Larry Clark. He was doing a photo spread for an magazine out in LA a while back, and came across a young group of Latino skaters who absolutely did not fit the description of thier fellow East LA peers. Unlike thier gang-bangin nieghbors, these guys live everyday/all day for skating, punk music and just trying to make it through the day without getting caught up. Anyway, Larry Clark was so intrigued by these kids, he started following them around LA, predominantly Beverly Hills, and just shot photos of them skating. Eventually, he came at them with a movie idea and the rest is history. The boys in the film aren't actors, but are given a script to follow or at least try to, but if improvisation was necessary, then Larry was open to it. All they had to do was remain on the storyline while staying themselves.

This piece has gotten rave reviews and it'll FINALLY open in Frisco this Friday! Make sure you check it out!
