Can't Be Stopped

Crest Theatre is proud to present 2016 film Can’t Be Stopped.

One of the most influential and recognizable graffiti crews to emerge out of the U.S. is Hollywood’s own Can’t Be Stopped crew. Since its inception in the early 1980’s the initials C.B.S. have been at the forefront of evolving graffiti art into a true and viable art form.

The kinship that is forged by the crews’ father figure “Skate” creates a bond of brotherhood that is the focal point of this story. CBS became a surrogate family that was the buffer between these artists and the temptations of the Hollywood streets. Skate’s tutelage becomes the lore and mantra that is the driving force between these boys coming of age and their ultimate success. Unbeknownst to these young artists, they were shaping the medium and ultimately becoming pioneers. With the success of CBS, their notoriety and acclaim was a transcending factor that evolved this contemporary art form. Skate had raised these boys from broken homes to prosperity and left behind a legacy unrivaled with a standard of morality, respect, and integrity in graffiti. These lessons became the staple instilled in the graffiti community today.
