Released August 9th in the US.
Filmed entirely in New York.
The story: In 1979 New York, a 20-year-old high-spirited street artist/musician going by his self-proclaimed copyright name of "SAMO" (same old shit), has a dream...
He wants to be a painter, a rich and famous artist.
After getting a job as an electrician assistant, SAMO gets his first entrance into an art gallery.
Soon, he would find himself approaching rich & powerful art connoisseurs and being praised and paid for his art.
While at a friend's house - whom he had painted what some may see as a "masterpiece" for, he is approached by a man who found that very painting brilliant.
The man is a writer and critic who attends many art gallery showings and knows many people in the art world, some famous now that he had worked with them.
This man takes a chance with SAMO and his art and everything seems to take off for the young artist in a direction that although he was a big dreamer, to begin with - he could have never dreamed that his dreams would become larger than reality...and the rest - the rest is pure history.
