HELCH is a mysterious graffiti artist. Before looking into him further I thought there would be some way to reach out to him. It doesn't seem as easy as I thought. There is some controversy surrounding this name including an article about upsetting the Queen by ruining her view from Windsor Castle. Many consider this artist as a delinquent. Maybe he is. Nevertheless, I have grown up seeing this tagline all over the country and I think his branding is impeccable. Despite being an annoyance to some, this is arguably the exact kind of creative protest form I am looking for in my film. He is also recognised by a great many people. He may be impossible to reach but the idea of contacting street artists would give the backgrounds within my film a flare of creativity, while crediting these artists and providing familiarity for those who pay attention to street art. It is an element of the film I may pursue further. If I managed to collaborate with successful street artists', there is a mutually beneficial opportunity in having their work feature in the film.
