I saw Beautiful Losers several weeks ago at its San Francisco opening. I must say, ESPO’s appearance in the film, and just his persona was such a thrill, I’m a long-time fan. I seem to remember seeing a lot of ESPO stuff up in Philly in the way-back-whens, maybe even the 90’s! Ooh lala, me’s a gettin’ ol’ here talkin’ bout dem nineties, yessir.

Here’s ESPO

Now go see Beautiful Losers! Here’s some keyword-rich text (wink!) about the film, from the film’s web site:

BEAUTIFUL LOSERS celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation

In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture.

Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.
