## Resource

Chaos Town has been documenting the wildest parts of Portland for a year now. From stripper yoga to the 'penis bush lady' to sideshows – and now, the best look at what is truly happening in Portland's $4m graffiti war. if you haven't already watched their documentary, do that first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7npnxP_6poA In the doc, Chaos Town embedded with an up-and-coming writer rappelling off structures to make a name for themselves, a businessman with graffiti cleanup contracts, a veteran vandal in his secret stash spot with $20k+ in spray paint, and an 84-year-old man taking matters into his own hands – all in an attempt to understand what is really behind the ‘graffiti war’ that nobody appears to be winning. Cruz on camera, Cam on production and edit, and Jameson as host.
