Anecdotes

Post No Bills is a documentary film on satirical political poster artist Robbie Conal directed by Clay Walker. The movie's title comes from lettering found on many construction walls and other city surfaces, indicating that advertisements or handbills are not to be placed on the surface.

Production

This documentary was shot on 16mm black and white filmstock in Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco from 1990 to 1992. At the center of the film is a poster that featured LAPD Chief Daryl Gates superimposed on a NRA shooting target with the text "Casual Drug Users Ought To Be Taken Out and Beaten." The controversial posters were glued around the city of Los Angeles in March 1991 shortly after the beating of Rodney King by LAPD officers.
