Seven local bands. Seven local filmmakers. Locus Arts has teamed them up at random to produce seven no budget videos, and the teams are working frantically to beat the deadline and make it to the first Do It Yourself Music Video Premier Night on Friday, February 15th, 2008. We’ll not only premier the seven music videos, but also have performances from the bands and commentary from the video directors.
