Infamy is an intense journey into the lives, minds, and
families of seven individuals who are obsessed with graffiti and follow that obsession into the most
unexpected places.
Cameras follow Los Angeles legend SABER by night as he dangles on the supports
of a billboard hovering twenty stories up, and by day into the city’s Museum of Natural History, where
he is featured in an exhibition about the L.A. River. New Yorkers EARSNOT and CLAW cover the City’s surfaces
with their tags in the face of their graffiti minority status as openly gay and female, respectively,
and then into their jobs as icons in the Downtown fashion scene. Philadelphia’s ENEM and Los Angeles’ TOOMER
tour their intricate murals for murdered friends, as well as their rapidly styled tag signatures, which
they frankly prefer. San Francisco’s JASE heads to paint freight trains that will take his art throughout
North America, then to his day job in graffiti-specialized spray paint distribution.

Finally, there’s JOE CONNOLLY “The Graffiti Guerrilla,” who makes the removal
of Los Angeles graffiti his daily passion. Woven throughout these individuals’ stories are their families
and neighborhoods; and for every preconception of who is a graffiti writer that they fulfill, there’s
one that turns out dead wrong.
