OutOfFocus Video Festival

The OutOfFocus Video Festival showcases and celebrates music videos, animations, and shorts produced by local video artists while creating a community that connects musicians, filmmakers, visual artists and storytellers. All videos selected for the screening are eligible for the audience choice award. This year's festival will include videos from local artists such as Shannon and the Clams, Part Time, Magnanimous, Swiftumz, Hunx & His Punx, The Shanghais, EMOTIONAL, HoboCop, Flesh World, Squirt Flower, Annie Wong, DeadBeat, Tommy Becker, Saything, Golden Drugs, Magic Trick, Janelle Hessig, Luke Sweeney, COLDBEAT, Swiftumz, Sonny and the Sunsets, Charlie Megira, Myles Cooper, The Fresh & Onlys and more! There will also be an opportunity for an informal Q&A with the bands and directors after the screening! The focus of the fest is on MUSIC + VIDEO but we will accept all types of short films (preferably 2-7 minutes long), which for us includes music videos and animated shorts. Just make sure it's good enough to be played LOUD and LARGE. We will review every single entry, so you can be assured that your video is fully considered. (Please be patient however as we may not get back to you right away.) SUBMISSIONS ARE FREE so send us your links! GENERAL RULES For Video Submissions: Preview submissions may be on DVD or link to your video. Please ensure that your video plays fully. All submission media should be clearly marked with title, total running time, date created, and email address. All entrants will be notified of selection by May 15, 2015.
