In the 1990s, a loose-knit group of American artists and creators, many just out of their teens, began their careers in just such a way. Influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day, such as skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion and independent music.

Just working on a regular event to screen alternative creative film making. The idea like most was born out of one of those chats where it seemed like a good idea, so we should blatantly do it. The first film to get an airing will be ‘Beautiful Losers’ thanks to Ashley John for the suggestion. A time, date and venue will be announced soon!

If you would like to get involved, make suggestions for future titles to screen or just come and watch/support then please contact louise@strong-island.co.uk
