Capturing the raw power of a grassroots hip-hop movement, the multi-award-winning documentary “Inside the Circle,” tells the story of two strikingly talented b-boys (break-dancers), Josh and Omar, best friends who become rivals when they join competing dance crews. Immersed in the b-boy culture of defiant creativity, Omar rises to international renown, while Josh tangles with the criminal justice system. Both of them struggle to keep dance at the center of their lives and the B-Boy City competitive events serve as emotional milestones in their journey to adulthood.
Film presentation will be followed by “Hip-Hop for the Masses,” street party taking place just outside of the Florida Theatre with b-boy battles, live graffiti artists and a hip-hop stage with guest DJ’s and performers. |

Distribution deal announced for INSIDE THE CIRCLE!
It has been a crazy year! INSIDE THE CIRCLE premiered at SXSW 2007, picking up the Audience Award in its category, and moving on to 25 other festivals around the world (and two additional Audience Awards.)
We’re really excited about its upcoming Florida premiere at the Jacksonville Film Festival on May 18. The film actually has strong ties to Florida! South Florida crew Unique Styles is featured in one of the B-Boy City events in the film, and main character Josh is now a member of South Florida's MIND-180 crew.
We've just announced that the film will be distributed by Cinema Libre Studio, a haven for independent filmmakers with views. Headquartered in Los Angeles, Cinema Libre is best known for distributing social issue documentaries and independent feature films with titles that include Outfoxed, Uncovered, Participant Productions’ Angels In The Dust, My First Wedding starring Rachel Leigh Cook and Raising Flagg starring Academy Award winner, Alan Arkin. We think this will be an extraordinary home for the film.
And finally, here's a sample of what people are saying about the film...
* * *
"Easily the single most inspirational and gripping film of its kind I’ve seen in quite some time… The film, simply put, is this year’s Mad Hot Ballroom – without ever trying to be.”"www.film.com
"An absorbing documentary about two Texas b-boys that not only features the most sizzling breakdancing to be seen on the big or small screen, but also does the only lucid job I've yet encountered of explaining the aesthetic of this street art without diluting its power...” Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun
"It’s a film about perseverance in life and transformation through art
that gives a message of hope to everyone."Nancy Schiesari, Award-winning filmmaker and Professor, University of Texas
“Thanks for blessing us with a film that documents our culture with sensitivity and sincerity. At a time where very unreal Reality TV dominates the media, this film is a big breath of fresh air.”
Jonzi D, founder Jonzi D Productions and Breakin Convention, London UK
"INSIDE THE CIRCLE is everything a documentary should be: fascinating, heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring…" www.austinist.com
“FIND THIS MOVIE AND WATCH IT!”
Ain’t It Cool News
"…a MUST-SEE film!"Adrian Harewood, CBC Radio, Ottawa Canada
“...A completely different look at what it means to dance.”
New York Press
