Saigon Electric | Trailer

Not sure how I feel about another dance movie~ I mean don’t get me wrong, I love seeing friends on screen as well as “movie magic” that make it ever more FRESH! And lets not forget the wonderful Slo-Mos~ Right? Right? Word~ Well, as far as dance movies go, Bboying has always had a part in them. But never have you seen a well made bboying movie. C’mon guys, let’s face it. Minus the cult classics, you can’t say there’s been ONE good movie. And I don’t mean no documentaries neither. But as movies are getting better, there’s one from Vietnam coming out. We’ll just have to see how good it is when it comes out, but for the time being, peep the trailer below. Promising? I’m still 50/50 on this one. From the same guys that brought you “Owl and the Sparrow”

“SAIGON ELECTRIC (In Vietnam, the title is SAIGON YO!) is a coming-of-age story set in the vibrant world of hip hop in modern day Sai Gon. Currently in post-production, this is a youth film that has never been done before in Vietnam; a modern dance movie that captures the hopes and dreams of Vietnam’s youth.

SAIGON ELECTRIC is slated for a December release in Vietnam and Spring 2011 in the United States and beyond. Check back often for updates!“

Filmmaker’s vision statement:
“In my wish of telling universal stories with a global outlook and a distinctly Vietnamese point of view, the seeds of “Saigon Electric” were planted. Continuing the themes of my first narrative feature “Owl and the Sparrow”, my hope is to create a visceral landscape of the hustle and bustle in modernized Vietnam. More than half of Vietnam’s current population is under the age of eighteen, born after the American War. As the doors of the West have opened up to the nation and consumerism weaves its way into the value system, youth culture is seeping onto the streets of Vietnam. Hip-hop, graffiti artists, and punk rock are alive. My wish is to give these teenagers a voice and present to an international audience a fresh new look at the dreams and struggles of Asian youth.“
