Music Video Scavenger Hunt (0)

Festival start: 24 June 2016      Festival end: 26 June 2016

The folks at Radio KSCR have created a unique event combining three things that they love the most... 48 hour film festivals, music videos, and scavenger hunts. The Music Video Scavenger Hunt is a 48 hour film fest competition where bands create a music video over the course of a weekend based on a number of items that are given out at the start of the festival.
