Beautiful Losers... 'Make Something From Nothing'

This is an inspiring, honest and funny documentary led by a really great group of creative people just talking about what they love doing - and most importantly why... I absolutely loved it :) please please watch it!!
It's really opened my eyes and made me consider myself as a visual communicator, the work that I do - and the work that I can do.

Watch the trailer for a quick overview...

And some great quotes that stand out to me after watching the film, (i've taken them as closely as I can!)
Harmony Korine – ‘Its almost your duty to tell your story in a different way, and to present your vision'

Jo Jackson – ‘Ambition is such a funny thing, it doesn’t look that fun… and then success is won by fighting and trying to be on top. Yeah, art is rad. For sure.

Aaron Rose – ‘To be able to look into the eyes of the people, who are coming to experience things that people are making. And to see that look of wonder or this feeling of love and excitement and inspiration …. It just makes me feel like wow – this is all worth it.

Thomas Campbell - ‘Hopefully it makes them smile or laugh or get something and hopefully enhances their life. But I don’t really know man, we’re all just gonna be fucking dust anyway.


Margaret Killgallen - talks about how there's an attitude difference inside & out of the creative world. As an artist, you should be able to live off and sell off your work, but the world involving the art trade is very closed and sometimes you forget about the other world around you.... Community art helps you to keep in touch with where you're from.
