Year-Round Metal Enjoyment

Synopsis: “Year-round Metal Enjoyment” explores the New England origins of North American freight train graffiti, tracing the narratives of several members of the prolific YME and Circle T crews and giving unparalleled access into the fastest growing subculture in the graffiti movement. Challenged by the illegal nature of their passions, dangerous locales, and the pressures of a society that will not accept or understand them, these artists reveal what drives them to return, time after time, to execute their artwork on a canvas that is forever changing, moving and vanishing into oblivion. Both a snapshot of a fading history and a love letter to the trains themselves, “Year-round Metal Enjoyment” captures the voices, faces and thoughts of artists, railfans and train workers alike, while showcasing the unlikely beauty of the trains in their environment.
