Exit Through the Gift Shop is a documentary about Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant living in Los Angeles who becomes obsessed with filming every aspect of his life. Through his cousin, who is a street artist, Thierry meets and eventually becomes friends with some of the biggest names in street art, including Banksy. Thierry decides to become a street artist himself, adopting the moniker Mr. Brainwash. The film explores the world of street art and the blurred line between art and commerce.
This unconventional documentary follows the struggles of five infamous graffiti artists as they make the transition from the street to the world of commercial success. Applying spray paint to some of the unlikeliest of places and materials -- including metallic city rooftops, sandy deserts, smelly sewers and wood-filled forests -- these maverick artists can't help but reveal their true, defiant colors, despite their professional ambitions.
