In 2010, photographer Dan Martensen was introduced to the Angulo brothers by filmmaker Crystal Moselle, who had just begun work on her hit documentary The Wolfpack. The film chronicles the lives of the six home-schooled boys who gained most of their knowledge of the outside world from the movies they watched at home. Confined to their four-bedroom apartment in New York City’s Lower East Side for 14 years, the siblings recreated cult-classic films, fashioning props as well as costumes from the contents of their apartment. Moselle’s unflinching portrayal documents the power of imagination to overcome the realities of a troubled upbringing.
