Dash Snow rejected a life of privilege to make his own way as an artist on the streets of downtown New York City in the late 1990s. Starting off as a notorious graffiti tagger, Snow soon developed into an international art star, exhaustively documenting his drug- and alcohol-fuelled nights with the surrogate family he formed with friends and fellow artists Ryan McGinley and Dan Colen. Snow tragically passed away from a heroin overdose in 2009, but his artistic legacy remains. Drawing from Snow’s unforgettable body of work and involving archival footage, filmmaker and photographer Cheryl Dunn, a close friend of Snow’s, presents us with an exceptional portrait that captures his all-too-brief life of reckless excess and creativity.


“A cinematic portrait of a brilliant young man and artist…”

Crombie, Monster Children

“…a personal, up-close depiction of the artist‘s raw, contagious energy, and his troubled life.”

Alexandre Stipanovich, Interview Magazine
