grabbed from onlyinhoston.com:
Out of a field of over 1500 submitted films, 80 have been selected for screening at the 2008 Dances with Films Festival in LA. Among those "making the cut" is the music video created by Zenfilm for the Southern Backtones song "Forever".
The "Forever" music video has made a lot of waves since its completion in late 2007, exposing millions of viewers to these talented Houston recording artists....taking home a Gold Addy, a WorldFest Gold Remi and an AMA Crystal Award for the success of it's online marketing efforts...which resulted in the video being broadcast on MTV, MTV2 and Canada's Much Music Television Networks.
"Forever" will screen at Dances With Films later this month. Q&A will follow with director W. Ross Wells and Hank Schyma of The Southern Backtones. We will also be promoting Only in Houston,
My Houston and
The Houston Film Commission as part of our presentation. Screening time and location are:
Dances With Films Festival
