Shot with a budget of £42,000 on the streets of Greenwich village, this uplifting comedy about two teenage graffiti artists has been wowing festival audiencesGimme the Loot, says its writer-director Adam Leon, is an "epic". And that is accurate enough if you allow for one or two transgressions. The film pays tribute to an imperial city – New York – rather than an empire or nation state, and its hero and heroine, teenage graffiti writers Malcolm (Ty Hickson) and Sofia (Tashiana Washington), wear baggy T-shirts and travel by subway, not ship.
