Hello,

The quick run down (choice of words accidental):

UP THERE

Shot high above the streets of New York City, UP THERE reveals the dying craft of large-scale hand painted advertising and the untold story of the painters to keep it alive.

The Film.

I dig it — actually the music got me into it, and the opening 'monologue' by one of the painters:

I've seen traffic accidents, naked girls, I've seen, uhm, shootings, I've seen fights … and they don't even know that you are even there, that's the whole thing.

I can't claim I feel their sentiment on 'dying' — everything dies, even artistic forms of expression; e.g: cave paintings.
