About the film
A new documentary about the titular artist! An active member of the 1980s New York art scene, Scharf created eye-popping street art with fellow visionaries Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. According to the LA Times, the film is “a lively, heartfelt appraisal of where his eye-candy funscapes, decorated objects, trash-repurposed sculptures, and performance art originated.”

What people are saying
‘Made with spirit and affection, the film frames Scharf's prodigious output and energy... as a triumph of having nourished an artistic soul rather than carefully modulating an artistic career.‘
Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times
‘This colorful documentary portrait of an artist is ultimately a touching portrait of a father - and a story of growing up.‘
