Why I decided to do films around the Skinny Jeanz/Jerk Movement By, Shariff Hasan

Along with being an Indi Film producer, in late 2008 I was working with UCLA professors to develop a learning curriculum to teach young kids about entrepreneurship through the opportunities of technology. Once in schools, I saw that the kids were already entrepreneurial through technology. Speaking with various teenagers in the classes I was teaching the curriculum, I learned more about this viral video culture and became fascinated, which led me to research the culture and the various personalities involved. I met a group called the “New Boyz” and decided to film a documentary around this new online subculture. Since then, we have two feature films in development with Melee Entertainment (the producers of the hit movies “You Got Served” and the comedy “Friday”). The documentary will be disturbed this summer in limited theaters and On Demand Pay Per View. The features should be released Spring 2011.

Describing the Jerkin Dance By, Shariff Hasan

Unlike Break Dancing and Krumping, Jerkin is much less acrobatic and much more technical footwork. No two people Jerk alike and the dancers are recognized by their own individuality, which can not be compared with fellow Jerkers.
The main dance steps in The Jerkin Movement are:
• The Jerk
• Reject
• Pin Drop
• Sponge Bob
• Dougie

The dance steps are constantly being upgraded, similar to computer software. For example, the “Reject” of late 2008 was upgraded to the “Reject 2.0” in mid 2009 because of additional footwork added to the dance move.
