As the 83rd Acadmey Awards are just a few weeks away the excitement is building and last night saw the traditional pre Oscars nominees luncheon in L.A.

We at Ten 8ty Four are supporting one film/doc which is “Exit though the gift shop”- all about the street artist Banksy.

Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the worlds most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it, Its basically the story of how one man set out to film the un–filmable. And failed”

The film was produced by our very good friend Jaimie D’Cruz who below is pictured at the Academy Awards nominees luncheon….Good luck J

If your wondering where he is on the picture, he is stood between the woman in the red dress and the woman in the green dress, to the right of the picture, he is wearing glasses!
