Footwurk:The Legacy
Posted in: Animation
Footwurk: The Legacy, is a film based on the Chicago underground dance scene. Footwork is a genre of electronic music and a dance style that originated in Chicago, Illinois in the mid 1990’s. Known for its fast-paced movements, uncensored lyrics, and intense battles, Footwork is an escape from Chicago violence. In my film, Mikey, a former gang member redirects his energy into becoming one of Chicago’s finest Footworkers. Through Footwork, an outlet for Chicago’s impoverished community; Mikey inspires his friend JuJu to turn his life around in an unforeseen way. Footwurk: The Legacy follows the story of Mikey, JuJu and the Nyau spirits that lead them. – Akeem Pennicooke Michael Johnson | Mikey Julius Grier | JuJu Devell Hamilton | Bangz Devoureaux Wolf | King Detro James Coles | Pedestrian Cardell Paterson | Thug 1 Tony Pope | Thug 2 Director: Akeem Pennicooke Cinematography and Editing: Akeem Pennicooke Narration: Michael Johnson Audio Recorder: Brad Lutat Special Thanks to the Cleveland Institute Of Art’s BFA Committee: DOWNLOAD THE EP & THE SOUNDTRACK HERE http://soundcloud.com/londydub http://londydub.bandcamp.com Download Press Kit Here bit.ly/1PkIbb3
