Break-Away

2012, 5 minutes

About a breakdancer who refuses to define himself by only one genre

While London’s urban dance scene is sacrificing originality for competition, b-boy Shun ‘Ame’ is breaking away from traditional macho attitudes by inventing original, entertaining and abstract movements. He doesn’t care if he wins or loses and says he’s making poetry with every move. Shot in 3D, this short film challenges the boundaries between documentary and creative approaches to filmmaking.
