Scooter LaForge, a life of art
In Scooter LaForge: a life of art, the iconic queer artist reflects on his career, his struggles and triumphs, and the impact that current events have had on his life and the lives of so many artists in NYC. Originally from New Mexico, LaForge exhibits a signature style that is instantly recognizable, yet perpetually reinvented. His bespoke painted clothing, which claimed the attention and subsequent partnership of famed designer Patricia Field, has become a specialized luxury, sought after by celebrities such as Debbie Harry, Beyoncé, and Nicki Minaj. Layered with childhood fantasy and adult themes, classical inspiration and modern social commentary, his pieces are woven together using paint, found objects, fabric, and anything else that strikes his fancy.

Itunes Amazon YouTube Movies Google Play Hoopla
2015, Art Documentary (93 min)
Whether you are a successful artist or struggling to create while working a 9–5, there is a common thread among most creative types: a depression that is kept at bay by producing new works. Art can serve an artist much in the same way any drug might. Self Medicated is a film about art, artists, and their struggles to stay happy. The Antagonist Movement was formed by a group of unknown artists in 2000. Begun in bars and clubs of the Lower East Side, the movement promoted lesser-known works by up-and-coming talent.
THE DOLLS OF LISBON
2012, Art Documentary (71 min)
Channeling the Mexican Zapatista movement, The Dolls of Lisbon featured artists from The United States, Ecuador, Portugal, and fellow Antagonist artists in Europe. This documentary focuses on the labors of the artist, begging the question, “If you knew being an artist would be this much of a struggle, would you still have taken this path?” Additionally, the film includes a unique soundtrack of underground musicians and an innovative use of Super 8 film and stop motion animation.
ANYTHING BOYS CAN DO
1996, Music Documentary (71 min)
The underground music world has been characteristically male dominated by both the bands and the audiences. With the upsurge of women’s involvement in the scene, female bands and musicians are all too often regarded as novelty acts, regularly shrugged off as militant feminist or cutely entertaining. Overwhelmed by the numbers of male bands, female bands of the scene are lumped together in one category, "girl group," regardless of style, talent, or musical content. Anything Boys Can Do investigates and reveals the issues affecting women in general and as individual performers. Featuring: Tribe 8, Sexpod, Thrust, The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Vitapup, The Wives, Maul Girls, and many more.

After getting kicked out of his girlfriend’s apartment, he finds himself going home with cheap bar flies, robbing East Village stores, and pathetically pretending he is gay just to have a place to sleep. The film took more than four years to complete, and includes cameos from punk rock legends Jesse Malin, Steve Bonge, Handsome Dick Manitoba, Howie Pyro, Sergio Vega, Paul Bearer, and Max Huber.
