Filming Krussia | 'Where You At' short film

Filming Krussia

Location: Brooklyn, NY
Watsup family, I’m just going to jump right into this one. I hit up Krussia and asked him if he’s interested in being the star role for the next “Where You At” short. He agreed and we scheduled it on a beautiful 60 degree Saturday. I met him in Greenpoint and we started filming around the Pulaski bridge. While filming the first couple scenes of Krussia speeding down the highway path; Devin, Yves, Toni & Lalo pulled up on me out of nowhere and shocked me. They said they’re just out riding around with nothing to do and saw me on the corner with my gigantic camera. I invited them to be a part of the storyline and they were hype. The randomness of bumping into friends is what makes New York so special. Having them join Krussia riding around was perfect because filming multiple people riding looks much better than filming one person.

The Plot

- START
- I send Krussia a voice message, “Yo Krussia, Where You At!?”.
- He receives message & decides he has to link up with me so he starts hustling.
- While riding to my location he rides past some friends hanging out and yells “YERRR”.
- They see him and mount their bikes so they can catch up to him.
- No conversation is needed, they all trust to just follow Krussia.
- Im waiting in the park for Krussia so we can play a game of Chess together.
- He arrives with a small squadron, we embrace & start playing.
- Film ends with entire crew hanging by the water talking and laughing like friends do.
- END
