Boomtown Music Video Challenge
The Boomtown Film Society is bringing back the Music Video Challenge, a free filmmaking contest in Southeast Texas. Participants will randomly select one song from a collection of music made by local bands and then will have one full week (10/6 – 10/15) to create and submit their music video for that song. All music videos will then be screened on the big screen at the historic Jefferson Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 19 before a presentation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where the audience will vote to select the winner of the challenge.
The Music Video Challenge will kick-off during Boomtown’s Southeast Texas Film Community Meet-up. Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/965558511183187
