POPaganda: The Art & Subversion of Ron English is a film about the
culture-jamming and billboard-liberation antics of Ron English. The modern
day Robin Hood of Madison Avenue, Ron paints, perverts, infiltrates,
reinvents and satirizes modern culture on canvas, in songs, and directly on
hundreds of pirated billboards. Shot entirely guerilla-style, the film
chronicles the evolution of an artist who offers an alternative universe
where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted and there's always room for
a little good-natured fun.

Director/Producer: Pedro Carvajal
Editor: Kevin Chapados
Featuring the art of Ron English. Also featuring art by Shepard Fairey,
ArtFux, Cicada, and Anthony Ausgang

NOTE: This is the 30 minute version of the recently completed feature
documentary (82:00 minutes)! This film is in competition for the Golden Gate
Award!
