It is now 2009 and wow I can't believe I feel like I'm still in the same shoes trying to get it done. Honestly I'm already burned out on my webisodes and & my film The Bboy Connection. I have a long line up for the webisodes for the many weeks to come and I'm not giving up. These webisodes are all on no budget as I dig through my many tapes of raw footage and some I add a little extra to them. Webisodes are to break it down what I'm dealing with trying to finish my on going documentary film The Bboy Connection.

I would would like your feed back on this certain webisode about the music and the video. I have many reasons why I chose this music and locations. There is allot behind it but I like to hear from others to see if they can figure it out. I asked Chuco specific questions on this subject because I know he sees things as i see it as many others do, but many are afraid to express in public how they feel.

If Hollywood can keep making fun of our dance like Jamie Kennedy's film "Old School" and this new Wayan's brother film "Dance Flick" then we can talk about them. I can laugh along with some of them and look forward to some like Dance flick but the point of webisode 5 is when will they take us serious and do the real deal.

This webisode should answer some peoples questions what my film is about in one of the chapters. These clips are not in my film "The Bboy Connection" but is a common story told by many legend characters in my film.

My web series is the closest I will let people to see anything to do with my film. My film & actual scenes of it have been a secret for a very long time because of reasons to long to explain. If you keep watching my weekly webisodes you may understand what my film relates to and why it has been taking so long with current and past stories.

This clip is not in my film but a general idea of one of the chapters. The footage was original shot for another project of mine.

This is a weekly webisode video blogs of characters in the film or who relate to the film. Once a week there will be new characters discussing many topics related to the bboy world as it relates what is to be seen in "The Bboy Connection" documentary film. These video blogs are not in the film and made only for youtube.

The purpose of these videos is to let everyone know that the film is still searching for finishing funds and has not given up. The Bboy Connection has been a long process of filming since the early 90s and currently seeking funding for final post and clearances.

Thank you for the support for those who have been patient. I know many have not been patient and have already given up. I truly understand why you have because I have been taking a very long time. That is why it is a documentary, meaning a time piece but also I had know idea I would still be doing this film since right out of high school. I will be 35 in less than 2 months so I do understand how you feel by waiting. I would like to move on to my screenplays and with my film career, but I will not give up on you as this film is for you. I will continue to do what ever I can to finish it as long as it takes even if I'm over 50. I'm not Hollywood and I do not have the resources for the final funding, but I can create, write, shoot a film with limited funds but that is all I can do. It has to be down correctly. I waited this long so I should continue to be patient and have it correctly complete as planned.

For those who have gave up and who I have taken out of the film because you do not believe it is your lost but I always forgive and hope you decide to support and be a part of this historic film. I'm doing the best I can as I'm trying to survive like everyone else in this world. This film has been the biggest sacrifice in my life and it was a choice that I had dedicated my life to so I cannot quit.

My website is slowly getting updated and more information will be posted.

Spread the word by forwarding my episodes to as many people as possible. Youtube is the only source I have left and this is the first time I let anyone on youtube see any clips of my film that I been keeping secret for so long. Now is the time, let's make it happen.

Blessings

I had to edit a lot more that was said in the video but also what were saying is that real poppers enter battles and we never see the background dancers and hollywood dancers at a real popping battle against real poppers and real popping judges. The script would be flipped because when a real popper auditions there are judges that have no clue about the real bboy and popping culture and tell us that if we didn't take classes then were not dancers or will not make the auditions.

[Mooncricket]

What Chuco is trying to say based on my questions I asked him to discuss is that when there are auditions they try and tell real street dancers they need to take ballet and jazz classes and choose a jazz and ballet background dancer who just learned how to pop over one who lives real street dance. What he is also saying is that they have jazz dance background dancers act in movies as a hard core street dancer. The real street dancers can see in a movie who takes classes over a street dancer.

Great clip. I gotta say the music threw me off at first, because its not the usual hiphop you would hear, but I actually liked it. I think it might've been a bit intense on some occasions, like its a horror movie or something (which might be what you intended?).

Mad props for what you're doing mooncricket. If you haven't already, make a site with these on it and spots to send donations (like paypal or something). Stay strong man! The end protect will be priceless.

[Mooncricket]

Thanks bboysleep. Well the music was suppose to have you focus on what he is saying so your not distracted by the beat. Also so you can feel what he is saying with the visuals. I do have my sight up but my web designer never has time to work on it for the adding the videos as I asked him. Having a budget would help my website. As for donations I do have paypal set up for that and trying to save up for the software to start selling other DVDs using shopping cart on my site.

Sorry for my delay on webisode 6. I'm having video capturing issues. All my videos have no budget just art but to refill your canvas it can add to your budget. So not sure when I'll get this fixed to continue. I have 6 more webisodes lined up and 2 more ready to be edited. Subscribe to my videos and you will be updated when I get the next webisode up. Thanks

Hmmm , I don't know man,,, It's like , we live in a very mixed and diverse environment ... and I agree that the Big Cheese peeps exploit the street art and keep the dough for themselves , but affirm that hiphop and street dance should not be mixed with Jazz , Ballet and other dance styles is a little to closeminded for me ... Let's just Dance , How about that ?

[Mooncricket]

Thanks for your response. Many of us are trying to say is that many films, TV shows that have one kind of dance, Ballet, jazz, salsa, tango and etc. there are never 100% bboyin, locking or popping TV or films. He is saying they always mix it never 100% for us. Breakn' electric Boogaloo focused on Kelly with modern dance background that wants to know the street dance. One part of why it died in the 80's. New movies are doing that again not showing the true essence of what our dance really is.

[TempSick]

WOOOOOORD!!!!!true shit right there!!!

We got the same shit in Poland!! !fuck tv programs with gay choreographers judging streetdancin!!!

the truth is on the street:) and it will be always there...

[nnazem]

dude, you have too much film, and too many stories to make one film. this shit is considered a miniseries. shit, you could probably just make a tv series that'll last 4 or 5 or even 6 seasons.

pitch something to a & e, they'll love it man.

What @CHUCOFilms warned to us about. And yet, no one realized that Chuco was talking about Philip, "Pac-Man," Chbeeb, Hok [of Quest Crew] and the other dancers. And sadly, @bboyphantom, @bboyrocco and @Mooncricket warned us, yet we didn't care to listen.

[bboyphantom]

what he saying in this video ive been feeling that way for years. hes the truth chucho keeps it real and speaks for the streets across the board

[bboyrocco]

Keep doing your think Mooncricket... I remember meeting at you Union Sq, NYC

3-4 years back... Props!!

[ALEXTESKI]

im sorry but i am not feeling this at all. There is no "Watering down" as such. I get where he is coming from, period. i know i know, it isnt original poppin, blah blah. This has been reiterated more than a millions times across the hip hop culture, whether it being Breaking, rapping or popping. Television is there to entertain people and primarily MAKE MONEY. they put up what sells.it wont change i can assure anyone that. I say stop all the hating on commercialization and take advantage of it

[SonicSupremeSGT3]

@Mooncricket And I'm fighting my hardest to prove that even the Gospel Music Industry in Hollywood and all over are making fun of the Total B-boy and/or the Total B-girl!

[KrustyKrisp]

someone give chuco that million dollar!

[Hawta2010]

demmm this shit is hard men!! Chek Hawta - dreams

[krazychapis]

so true i agree with this guy

[MisterSicOne]

it aint the " white man " , it be the " rich man " who controls $hit. this aint a race issue imo. you have plenty of ethnicities who have money pull , plenty of weight.

[realkef]

thats some true shit

amen
