![]() Velocity Crew at Winton Middle School, 2004 Welcome to the "Among B-Boys" Project
Started as a short film by director Christopher Woon in 2004 by the same title, about a crew of Hmong youth from Merced who participate in the Hip Hop art of "breaking" or "B-Boying". This initial offering, a little over 5 minutes in length, was created as a part of the Visual Communications: Armed With A Camera Fellowship and screened at Asian American film festivals in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago and New York. Among B-Boys has blossomed into a full length documentary film encompassing a "multi-generational" view of the impact B-Boying has had on the Hmong community, the contributions they have made to the culture, and their struggles to sustain their movement they have built.
Currently the film is in post production, with pickup shoots scheduled at the end of the year. Please check out the running blog project
