For over a decade, outsider sub-cultures have influenced the mainstream.

Now, a feature documentary finally explores that creative ethos driving youth culture and popular art today.

Beautiful Losers is an unique documentary celebrating the independent and DIY spirit that unified a loose-knit group of American artists who emerged from the underground worlds of skateboarding, graffiti, punk and hip hop.

Beautiful Losers is an intimate and moving assessment of underappreciated yet wildly influential outcasts such as Shepard Fairey, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Jo Jackson, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, Stephen Powers, Geoff McFetridge, Thomas Campbell and – one of my personal heroes – Ed Templeton.
