Music videos can turn a song into a visual world, giving us new ways to experience the music we listen to — whether we’re watching with friends at a party or alone at 2 a.m. when we can’t fall asleep. What draws us in and what makes a music video stay with us? Hear from directors, producers, and creatives working across music and visual media about building worlds around songs, collaborating with artists, and finding new ways to connect music and image while navigating tight budgets and production schedules.
Stay afterwards for a music video party and mingle with fellow guests and artists from 9–10PM.
