Year Round Metal Enjoyment NOR'EASTOUR 2016
Year-round Metal Enjoyment explores the New England origins of North American freight train graffiti, tracing the narratives of several members of the prolific YME and Circle T crews, and giving unparalleled access into the fastest growing subculture in the graffiti movement.
Challenged by the illegal nature of their passions, dangerous locales, and the pressures of a society that will not accept or understand them, these artists reveal what drives them to return, time after time, to execute their artwork on a canvas that is forever changing, moving and vanishing into oblivion.
Both snapshot of a fading history and love-letter to the trains themselves, Year-round Metal Enjoyment captures the voices, faces and thoughts of artists, railfans and train-workers alike, while showcasing the unlikely beauty of the trains in their environment.

Back in 2014, I watched the trailer for this documentary and it absolutely captivated me. My whole life, I've spent obsessing about graffiti. From the day I first noticed it, (a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" wholecar in '92 in Louisville, KY) it has spread through my mind like a virus. Aside from inspiring me to write myself, any commute or trip that I find myself on becomes a spot catching adventure. After following the production of this film for the past two years, I absolutely cannot wait to see it.
**I am in no way affiliated with MINT films. Just a fan of trains. With graffiti on them.
