YOUR RATING
Jason York in Streetwrite (2017)
Political graffiti has a long history dating back to the walls of Ancient Rome. It represents an alternative means of expression that gives voice to the issues and concerns of the common people. This tradition of free expression forms the basis of STREETWRITE, a movie musical that asks the question, How
can speech be free, if only those who pay can speak?
Using street art as a focal point, the film examines the various ways people struggle to express themselves in situations where free speech is curtailed or suppressed. It also explores how certain kinds of expression can be repressive to individuals. Originally written and composed musical numbers convey these topics through a series of vignettes, and the arguments that ensue are debated in a courtroom sequence. Graffiti, public murals, commercial billboards and hallway posters form the visual backdrops that exemplify these issues.
The film was fully funded by the New York Film Academy (NYFA) with an international cast of talented Musical Theater Department students working alongside NYFA professional faculty of artists and staff. Original movie musicals are a part of the NYFAs Musical Theatre conservatory curriculum; the only musical theatre program teaching both musical theatre for the stage and film. STREETWRITE was written and directed by Blanche Baker, an Emmy Award winning actress and Senior Faculty member of the New York Film Academy, and the film was shot by Piero Basso, an award winning Director of Photography.

    Wow, the makers didn't read the First amendment

    The First Amendment is not a right to deface private property of others, be you're Picasso or some talent-less idiot.It has to do with government prohibitions. it.

    lt also doesn't provide protection from actual harmful actions. For example the Second Amendment has for near 250 years protected the right of individuals to keep and bear arms -- but you can't claim Second amendment protection if you just go shoot someone without them threatening you. Same with defamation, liable etc.: the *government* may not prior restrain your speech, but if you harm someone with speech and they prove it was a tangible harm in court you can be sanctioned -- AFTER.

    This film is part of grievance/aggrieved group identity politics that is tearing the country apart and disinforming young people about what the Constitution says.
