Tommy The Clown reflected on the origins of the 2005 documentary "Rize," directed by David LaChapelle, which spotlighted the vibrant krumping dance scene Tommy helped pioneer. LaChapelle discovered the movement when filming Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" video and visited Tommy’s dance academy, inspired by the raw energy and culture. DJ Vlad revealed in the conversation that "Rize" was a major inspiration behind his first documentary, "Ghost Ride the Whip," capturing the Bay Area’s unique culture. Tommy expressed admiration for Vlad’s work and the lasting influence "Rize" has had beyond dance, highlighting the film’s role in inspiring new creative voices.
