Quality of Life

Shot on location in San Francisco's Mission District, QUALITY OF LIFE sheds light on a clandestine graffiti subculture, with an authentic and gripping story of two young taggers who struggle to maintain their friendship as their lives unravel and the cops close in.

“As deceptively modest and quietly ambitious as its urban working-class hero.” (Village Voice)

The moving and controversial ending of the film has ignited the graffiti and hip hop subculture, making this the #1 underground film on MySpace, the world's leading youth-oriented website. The soundtrack features an eclectic mix from the rising stars of hiphop, punk, electronica and indie rock including Modest Mouse, Andre Nickatina, Sebadoh, Mr. Lif, Lifesavas, Halou, Good Riddance, Top.R., Amon Tobin, and Built To Spill.

Stand-out performances in the film include Lane Garrison as the conflicted Mikey "Heir" Rosario and newcomer Brian Burnam as the destructive Curtis "Vain" Smith. QUALITY OF LIFE is the feature film debut for both.
