Gimme The Loot

Gimme The Loot – 2012 SXSW Best Film Winner

Slinging pot and tagging walls high above the city, Gotham graffiti artists Malcolm and Sofia begin Adam Leon's "Gimme the Loot" as miscreants and end it as heroes -- not in the epic sense they envisioned (their goal is to "bomb the apple" at Citi Field), but simply for etching their names on our hearts along the way. Feeding on the energy of its non-pro cast, this indelible slice-of-life follows the two teens on a freewheeling journey through the streets. The stakes may be low, but the experience is authentic, kicking off a likely healthy fest run with SXSW's jury prize.
