Last year a couple b-boy films came out on the Asian American film festival circuit including Planet Bboy and Always Be Boyz, get ready for more as the visibility of b-boys has been raised with shows like America’s Best Dance Crew. There may be another one hitting the US soon with Ronnie Abaldonado from Super Cr3w called “Turn It Loose”. Here’s a synopsis:

Sixteen of the world’s best b-boys battle one on one in an unused power station in the heart of Soweto, South Africa, to determine who will be the next world champion. ‘Turn it Loose’ is a film about this competition. Through the eyes of six competitors we leave behind any preconceived notions of what breakdance used to represent and, as the film digs deep, we discover an extraordinary form of non-contact combat that has evolved over 30 years to become a truly global 21st century phenomenon.

From backstage at the Red Bull BC ONE in Soweto, to the backstreets of Senegal, Japan, Algeria, America, France and Brazil, the film combines human drama with the visual intensity of the dance, revealing the passion, sweat and artistry needed to compete at the highest levels. 16 dancers battle it out. Only one will win.

Starring RONNIE (USA), HONG 10 (Korea), TAISUKE (Japan), ROXRITE (USA), LILOU (France), BEN-J (Senegal) & RAKAA. Have you checked out the Red Bull commercial with bboy Ronnie?
