THE DEADLY ART OF SURVIVAL Before writer-director Charlie Ahearn shot his seminal hip-hop film "Wild Style" in 1982, he was directly exposed to the bourgeoning hip-hop, break-dancing and graffiti movement while shooting his super-8 martial arts epic "No Wave" feature, shot in 1979 around the projects of the Lower East Side, stars Nathan Ingram, a true to life martial arts hero. In his movie incarnation, Nathan, unaware of a contract out on his head, is jumped and beaten bloody by a local street gang.
