The President of Xtreme Breakdancing Sports, Inc. and Former RUN DMC B-Boy, Frankie "Sirswift" Hernandez created and directed film short Ninja B-Boy based on his life's true events and New York International Independent Film Festival has selected his film short for theatrical screening Sunday, November 20, 2011 at Quad Cinemas in NYC at 6:00pm.

(New York, NY) Back in the 80's, when he was thirteen, B-Boy Pioneer Sirswift performed and toured with RUN DMC and Afrika Bambattaa as part of the Dynamic Rockers and Magnificent Force B-Boy crews. He earned as much as $2,000 per week B-Boying (aka Extreme Breakdancing or Breaking).

Thirty years later, Frankie has launched Xtreme Breakdancing Sports Inc. an entertainment production company focused producing original and compelling entertainment related to the Hip Hop B-Boy Culture.

After creating and writing the screenplay Frankie and his production team went on to produce and direct the Ninja B-Boy Short Film, a story about risk-taker B-Boy "Sirswift" and his responses to the conflicts and obstacles he faces as he chases fame and fortune.

An accomplished accountant, having studied screenwriting and directing, Frankie has decided to pursue his passion for storytelling.

"I created Ninja B-Boy because I got frustrated. All these years and there still isn't a good B-Boy flick portraying the gritty life and culture of a true B-Boy," Frankie said as he schedules filming for The Ninja B-Boy Web Series debuting on February 14, 2012.

Aimed for Hip Hop adult audiences 18-49, specifically male, The Ninja B-Boy Web Series features a great dramatic story, good talent and amazing B-Boying – all Frankie ever wanted in a B-Boy film.

Beginning November 21, 2011, all audiences can enjoy The Ninja B-Boy Short Film at www.ninjabboy.com or YouTube, Vimeo, Break.com, Metacafe, Dailymotion, Google Video, Yahoo Video and Bing Video.

The short film was created to give audiences a glimpse of the Ninja B-Boy and to draw interest from movie producers, investors and brand marketers.
