TURF FEINZ "RIP Oscar Grant" | YAK FILMS | Fruitvale BART shooting in Oa...


I just posted this on the Madcoins blog but had to post it here too because I think they are doing some really amazing work/art...

This Yak Films I just found on Youtube is pushing mad change on a massive level. Based out of Oakland, and moving onto Paris, Tokyo and beyond, Yak Films is going to make some serious noise. Their films feature some of the best modern dance you will find anywhere. Here is one of their videos they did as a tribute to Oscar Grant/protest to the police murdering him. Respect to Yak Films for doing what they are doing. I couldn't describe it any better then they do on their channel:

"Since its inception, YAK has been dedicated to emerging multimedia production as a voice of resistance and an alternative to the mainstream. At its core, YAK is a visual wrecking crew that uses multimedia to share the talents of young people around the world - and elevate and inspire the masses."

Here is a 5 minute clip about their origination in East Oakland and their purpose/ideas. Brilliant.
