The red carpet
Not a playlist. A room.
- The filmmaker speaks after every music video, in the room or live on screen from overseas.
- One music video at a time. No blocks, no separate screening.
- Judged blind. No names, no countries, no politics.
- Jury and audience awards, decided the same afternoon.
- Monthly, in Hollywood, from a California nonprofit.
“We do not look at the name of the filmmaker, we do not look at the country they are from, we don’t care who they know. We watch only the film.”
Bert Holland, Founder & Executive Director
