Frank Shepard Fairey, atualmente considerado um dos mais influentes designers gráficos, pode ser reconhecido por diversos trabalhos, mas jamais vai se desvencilhar da imagem de sua criação original: OBEY.
Um campanha viral de street art, que a partir de 1989 tomou diversas cidades nos Estados Unidos, se espalhando também pelo mundo em diversas versões e remixes. O curta-metragem biográfico acima, dirigido por Julian Marshall, conta como esse fenômeno começou.
Shepard Fairey estudava na Rhode Island School of Design, e com a ajuda da comunidade local de skate atuou de forma clandestina na cidade de Providence, após conquistar fama vandalizando um outdoor do prefeito Buddy Cianci na época.
Além da história baseada em fatos reais, “OBEY THE GIANT – The Shepard Fairey Story” é belissimamente filmado e dirigido. Shepard Fairey avisou que aprovou o filme, mas não teve nenhum envolvimento criativo e financeiro na produção.
