Working Class

A film about art and life in the neighborhood

Working Class is a feature documentary that builds upon 13 years of tattoos, art and friendship between San Francisco artist Mike Giant and San Diego artist Mike Maxwell. Loosely based on Charles Dickens book A Tale of Two Cities, the two Mikes discuss themes found in Dickens 1859 novel that are just as relevant today : Religion , War , Family, History and Art . Through these chapters the audience gets an intimate look at how the world shapes the art they produce . At its core, Working Class is a buddy story that that delves into the lives of the artists while examining how the creative process intersects with friendship.
