Hollywood, CA — Jeremiah Ocañas and Gabriela López de Dennis co-founders of Lone Stars Entertainment recently announced that principal photography begins November 2018 in New Orleans and Los Angeles for a new untitled documentary series pilot on B-boys breakdancing. The docu-series follows the journey of Los Angeles-based breakdancer, Jimmy Chavarria, who has won multiple breakdancing competitions including Freestyle Session: Taiwan.
The series will take viewers on the road with Jimmy and his dance crew, the Street Groove Collective, as they pack up in a van and spend a year visiting all 50 states in the U.S., and competing in every state that holds a breakdancing competition including Who Got the Props? in Detroit, Call Out Series in New York, Burning Man in Nevada, B-Boy City in Texas, and Freestyle Session in California.
Viewers will get an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the rigorous training involved in breaking, which is one of the hardest and most physically demanding dances; driving across country together; competing against the best breakdancers in the country; and witnessing whether or not Jimmy can reach his goal—to be the only breakdancer to ever win all of America’s top b-boy dance competitions.
