Raw Talent - A Philadelphia Hip Hop Dance Documentary

"Raw Talent is a feature length independent documentary that has been in effect since March 2008 and schedule to wrap up in winter 2010. The story line behind this film uncovers the true heart felt chronicles of Philadelphia’s legends and new school prodigies. They all enthusiastically share their phenomenal story that exposes our major contribution we made to Hip Hop Culture."



"The main idea is about exposing the rich history and talent of Philly's hip hop dance culture dating back to the late 70's all the way to present day. This film will begin with stepping then make its way though break dancing, popping, locking, house, old school 90s dance and finally Philly’s own: “Wu-Tang”. This film will also highlight Philadelphia's astonishing graffiti art work and glorify the authentic DJing culture and its connection with the dance."

Props to Krazzy K for puttin me on to this, I gotta get involved.
