COMEBACK

THROWBACK
The highly anticipated FPS tradition at UCLA is making a huge comeback for winter; the Music Video Contest will be an epic end-of-the-quarter celebration where all of the diverse music video projects that our fellow FPS members collaborate on will be screened alongside an exciting programme featuring awards, prizes, and feedback from industry judges, and many more surprises to look forward to.

This is your chance to take the lead on your creative vision for a music video and make it come to fruition. It is an opportunity to take on larger roles in productions to gain invaluable educational experiences and show everyone your unique creative skills. Not to mention having a blast shooting with talented crew members and create something amazing to add to your reel.

PROJECT SUBMISSION DEADLINE 
The finished product is due in screenable format by 3/2 (Mon) of Week 9. Online file transfers using services such as Dropbox, WeTransfer, or Google Drive are accepted. Please email film@fps-productions.com for any special requests regarding submission methods.

FINALE SCREENING
The finale screening event is scheduled for our general meeting during Week 9 of winter quarter, on 3/5 (Thu).

FACEBOOK EVENT
