From the heart of Gravesend, deep in South Brooklyn, comes the untold story of a graffiti writer whose name has echoed through the tunnels and rooftops of New York City since his rise in the late ‘80s. ZEISM, the Brooklyn Knight is a raw, cinematic journey into the underground world of New York City graffiti—told through the thickly accented voice of a born-and-bred Brooklyn graffiti writer.

Follow ZEISM and his tight-knit crew as they hit the streets, scaling fences and tagging trains, all while shedding light on the vibrant, rebellious culture that shaped them. Along the way, they visit iconic graffiti landmarks and capture intimate moments with unforgettable South Brooklyn personalities.

Originally filmed years ago and left untouched, this footage was unearthed after the death of a close friend and fellow graffiti legend, Rush. His passing ignited a mission: to honor their legacy and share their story with the world. With a gritty aesthetic inspired by 90s-era Video Graff tapes and a cinematic pulse-pounding soundtrack of original hip-hop beats produced by Brooklyn’s own Lucky Loopiano, ZEISM, the Brooklyn Knight is more than a documentary—it’s a tribute to a culture, a brotherhood, and a borough.
