Larry Clark from "Wassup Rockers" - Interview
Larry Clark from "Wassup Rockers" - Interview
New 'Kids' are 'Wassup Rockers'
Director/screenwriter Larry Clark, who broke into the movie business with his controversial 1995 film “Kids,” is back with another film about the youth of America.
“Wassup Rockers” is set in South Central and Beverly Hills, focusing on a group of Latino kids who wear tight pants, skateboard, listen to punk rock and who inevitably don’t fit into the hip hop culture that surrounds them.

Clark sat down with Beep early one morning at the Peninsula Hotel to talk about the film, his past and getting his actors in trouble with the law.
