Hip-hop/break dancer needed for Columbia University Film Festival Trailer Shoot

 

We are Film Students at Columbia University making Columbia University Film Festival's this year's trailer. You can find more info about the festival here. (www.cufilmfest.com)
We are looking for a hip-hop/break dancer to be in the trailer. The concept of this year's trailer is very different from the previous ones, it's hip, energetic and fast paced. The director (Lena Tsodykovskaya - https://vimeo.com/30129402 ) is a super talented filmmaker, who has lots of experience in music videos and commercials. 
Our budget is pretty much non-existent, so unfortunately we can't pay you, but we can provide fun times, lots of good vibes and connections. The trailer will screen on the screen of Walter Reade theatre, in Lincoln Center before each section of films ( so lots of times), then it will screen at Paris theatre, at the closing ceremony. It will also be distributed online on different platforms. 
The scene itself is very small, the filming of it shouldn't be more than an hour. We will be attaching a Go-pro on the had of the dancer, film both the process of doing that and then, of course, use the material from the Go-Pro. So we want to record the dancer dancing both by our main camera (Sony F55) and by Go-Pro, which will create an amazing image once edited. 


Our shooting day is January 17th. Please let me know if you are interested and available asap.
