2:00-3:00pm - Premier of the 48 Hour Music Video Launch Videos.
For FuelFilm’s fourth 48hour film launch they’ve partnered with Live From Memphis to make 5 music videos in one weekend. Here’s how it works - a bunch of local Memphis acts submitted songs, of which 5 were selected (by a secretive and possibly corrupt star chamber...hey, that’s what the bands that weren’t picked are gonna tell you anyway) carefully considering which songs would inspire the best videos (by a secretive and possibly corrupt star chamber...hey, that’s what the bands that weren’t picked are gonna tell you anyway), and those 5 songs were posted online for review by our participants. Dozens of filmmakers and aspiring filmmakers gathered Friday February 24th to pitch their concepts. 5 of those concepts were chosen by popular vote and “Greenlit” - and everyone there pulled together in to 5 teams to create 5 music videos in 48 hours. Here are the amazing results!
