Hip Hop vs. Super 8 - CGY

Calgary is not known for it's hip hop.
This is probably not a surprise to you.
Calgary is also not known for it's filmmaking.

But just because rodeos, oil and exorbitant parking costs overshadow other aspects of Calgary when viewed as a macrocosm, doesn't mean that these scenes don't exist.
If anything, because these scenes exist so far from the lime light of Calgary, these scenes are extremely strong and supported by die hards who love the art forms and love an underdog.
CGY, my super 8 short inspired by Dragon Fli Empire's track of the same name, is an attempt to reclassify the Calgary landscape from it's traditional perception. To show the viewer that beneath the business suit, Calgary is being re-interpreted from the microcosm up.
