Always Be Boyz

B-boys and B-girls have been hot over the past few months. Jabbawockeez and Kaba Modern gaining high visibility on America’s Best Dance Crew. Benson Lee’s Planet B-Boy doc that follows breakdancers around the world. Korean Gambler crew signing up for Hype Nation. If you are in the Los Angeles area, Always Be Boyz is screening tonight at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.

Here’s a synopsis of Always Be Boyz:

Seven is the leader of a b-boy crew that is struggling to find corporate sponsorships. After many blow offs by the huge sports apparel company known as Make, the crew has a decision to make. Do they wear the required Make logos on their clothes for the biggest competition known as the “Battle of the Year”(owned by Make), or do they wear their own logos, relinquishing any chance of victory? The film’s message is in the title.

Always Be Boyz is director John Kwon’s first cinematic endeavor in which he spent the last six years in Korea with a group of rag tag breakdancers. The movie was shot in Korea with real b-boys playing the main roles.
