Get Your DIY Music Video Contest On (Aka SFIAAFF And The 3rd Annual DIY Music Video Contest)

Thursday, January 28, 2010

It's about that time - and yes - you really do want to get on out and support the community by kicking to their launch party (and if you do I'll personally hug you - but please shower beforehand and don't worry if you see me running towards you at full speed in a bear suit. I'm needy and like to play dress up).

This year the Festival combines forces with Locus@KSW to kick off the 3rd Annual Toyota DIY Music Video Contest the same evening. Be among the first to see a slate of new Asian American music videos, vote for your favorites, and hear live bands!

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.
