Life Remote Control
LIFE REMOTE CONTROL es un rudo video de 90 minutos que retrata a algunas de las estrellas mundiales del mundillo “street art” o arte urbano… Los críticos se quejan de que una generación que ha crecido con los anuncios, la televisión por cable, y los vídeos musicales, han perdido su capacidad de atención.

Director
