DVD Release and Stream of "Dirty Hands" – The Art and Crimes of David Choe

Looks like Dirty Hands will finaly see a dvd release.  Dirty Hands chronicles the life and career of David Choe, from 2000 to 2007, as documented by his close friend and director Harry Kim. The documentary reveals the highs and lows involved in David’s career using the same “no holds barred” style that makes his artwork so unique. Ultimately, the film unveils a personal story of the trials of a succeeding talent, inspirational to any artist. Dirty Hands premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival to multiple sold-out screenings and went on to win the Best Documentary award at the San Diego Asian Film Festival. It was also featured as the closing film at the MoMA’s All the Wrong Art: Juxtapoz Magazine on Film documentary series which I attended. It is now available on DVD for the first time ever through Upper Playground via pre-sale, with an official release date on July 18. 121 of David Choe’s ‘Munko’ vinyl figures will be given away randomly to anybody who purchases a DVD during the pre-sale. The double-disc DVD-set features over 3 hours of bonus footage not included in the film. The film is also streaming in it's entirety right now exclusively at Upper Playground’s website. Check the preview below to get a small tatse.
