This year marks the 7th annual 4x4x48 Music Video Challenge which brings together artists and local bands to create one-of-a-kind music videos in just 48 hours. Directors and bands were randomly paired, and songs are kept a secret until the challenge begins. Directors are also given 5 requirements that ALL must appear in their video. Those elements are chosen by the previous year’s directors and are also kept a secret until the clock starts ticking. Filmmakers were able to interpret each element as creatively as they wish as long as each element was represented. Enjoy the results!
