About
BOMB IT is the explosive new documentary from award-winning director Jon Reiss investigating the most subversive and controversial art form currently shaping international youth culture: graffiti.
Through interviews and guerilla footage of graffiti writers in action on 5 continents, BOMB IT tells the story of graffiti from its origins in prehistoric cave paintings thru its notorious explosion in New York City during the 70’s and 80’s, then follows the flames as they paint the globe. Featuring old school legends and current favorites such as Taki 183, Cornbread, Stay High 149, T-Kid, Cope 2, Zephyr, Revs, Os Gemeos, KET, Chino, Shepard Fairey, Revok, and Mear One. This cutting edge documentary tracks down today’s most innovative and pervasive street artists as they battle for control over the urban visual landscape. You’ll never look at public space the same way again.
BOMB IT has shot in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tijuana, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, Berlin, Cape Town, São Paulo, and Tokyo.

What up Bombit peoples
I just finished wrapping up Primary Flight down in Miami, which happens during the same time as Art Basel. Don’t know if you have any interest in covering the event on bomit, but if you do, we set up a Flickr Pool for press photos:

This year the Primary Flight event had over 80 artists, and is slated to become the worlds largest outdoor street art event
If you have an interest in covering it, let me know. We can send you higher res images, or uncredited pics for the site if you like.
Hope all is well
Thanks much.
Logan
