Adam Leon on "Gimmie the Loot"

Indiewire excerpt
"Gimme the Loot" follows Malcolm (Tysheeb Hickson) and Sofia (Tashiana R. Washington), a pair of scrappy young graffiti artists trying to make their mark on the Bronx scene. "From the first scene, in which the duo awkwardly jack paint canisters from a store and hop into their getaway car, Leon establishes his characters as a pair of lawbreakers living on the fringes of society but remain essentially innocent, giggly children," wrote Eric Kohn in his review out of SXSW. "Inhabiting the same bubble of hip-hop attitude as 'Wild Style' did nearly 30 years earlier, Leon's movie resurrects the subculture with genre charm and low-budget appeal."
