We made it back from Austin and documented one hell of a party! We captured footage and interviews with over 15 DC bands and held over 25 #MobileMusicVenue performances.
We had an awesome team of videographers, photographers, producers and sound engineers that did an unbelievable job. Thank you Ally Behnke, Ben Droz, Gordon Daniels, Stuart Dilg and Sam Winter.
