Dirty Hands: The Art and Crimes of David Choe

9:51 AM PST on February 8, 2012

We've noticed a lot of people arriving on LA TACO searching for info on LA native David Choe, who has been blowing up the media world ever since the NY Times revealed the size of his vast fortune. From Howard Stern, who offered to be David's second dad, to Barbara Walters, who learned the art of the spraycan from David (airs tonight), Choe has been doing his thing the way only he can. If you're new to the Choe vortex, you need to get Dirty Hands on iTunes or DVD. Made by David's best friend, filmmaker Harry Kim, over an insane 10 year period, the movie may now finally find the audience it has deserved since the film's debut at the LA Film Festival in 2008.

Trailers, link to iTunes and much more at http://dirtyhandsmovie.com/. Seriously, check it out.
