Cinema Speakeasy presents its first ever
Music Video Mega-Mix
Plus: Our two-year anniversary party!
Is the music video as we know it dead? Hell no it’s not. In fact, we here at Cinema Speakeasy believe that it’s enjoying a major renaissance.
Thanks to cheap technology and easy-access distribution outlets (let’s give credit where it’s due: YouTube), every budding director can go forth and engage in that beautiful collaboration that spawned the careers of people like Spike Jonze and Hype Williams.
We called out to our community for their best stuff – and boy did they come through. Out of the scores of amazing submissions, we chose the videos that we thought best evidenced the symphonic symbiosis that can happen when filmmakers and musicians see eye-to-eye. From norteño to hip-hop, electronic to shoegazer, we got eclectic like JD’s got Salinger.
On Saturday June 18th, come on down to Voyeur for our first ever Music Video Mega-Mix. You’ll get video premieres from some bands you know and some you’ve never heard of, and – as always – a rollicking boozy good time.
This is Cinema Speakeasy’s second anniversary. Wear a party hat and help us start our terrible twos with style.
