SFIAAFF/DIY Music Video Contest Launch Party

Well I won't be there, in body, but I will certainly be there in spirit:

my band Bantercut is competing in the DIY Music Video Contest (see below).

For info on the band, visit http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/Bantercut

LOCUS@KSW teamed up Asian American filmmakers and musicians, challenging them to make a music video in a matter of two months with little to no budget. The music videos will premiere at the SFIAAFF / DIY Music Video Contest Launch Party, Feb 11 at 111 Minna. Be among the first to see original Asian American music videos and watch the musicians perform live!

The DIY Music Video teams are competing for a spot in the 28th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival and an exciting prize provided by Toyota. Your vote will determine which video makes to the film festival! The two-week long voting period begins online at asianamericanmedia.org immediately following the launch party.
