Style Wars: The Outtakes

The producers of Style Wars are trying to raise $28,000 to obtain the over 30 hours of outtakes that lie in storage, outtakes that they used to make the 69 minute documentary that's one of the cornerstones of Hip-Hop history. "There are more scenes from the B boy battle at United Skates of America between the Rock Steady Crew and the Dynamic Rockers, and more interviews with Skeme and his mom, Dez, Kase 2, Shy, Seen, Dondi and all the other kings and characters that people have grown to love. But this history is threatened. The original footage is damaged and fading. Fortunately, it will be possible to repair using digital technology. It will cost $28,000 to save and restore the outtakes. Saving the best outtakes is an important component of our overall project to restore the entire negative of the film and make an HD master which will preserve the record of the first painted trains in their original vivid colors." These are needed for future as extras for future Style Wars releases - support the cause today, via Kickstarter.
