Prepare one- four minute video on the theme SUPERSTITION.

How it Works:
8:00 PM *sign up to show your video, volunteer to be on a judging team or just sit back and watch. 8:30 (SHARP), we’ll pick the first name and the show will begin. After each screening, the judges confer, and give a score. The video with the highest score becomes our Cabaret winner.

Video tips: Any genre is ok but it should be compelling. The digital cabaret welcomes experimental video art, music videos, and conventional narratives.

Event Producers: Will Coley and Melanie McQuitty


Background: Since content development today is highly social, this event provides the opportunity for everyday filmmakers to meet, screen each other’s work, provide feedback, and create even stronger content, while relishing the fruits of mix-media creativity.

About this month’s performer:
Michael Mangia doesn’t mind digging around in the Hollywood dirt to celebrate the beauty that lurks in the dark, clandestine corners, underneath bed-sheets and facelifts. Think of him as the David Lynch of the LA music scene, trafficking in catchy melodies and billowing piano parts to tell stories of the sordid and the beautiful. As a live performer, Michael engages whether singing a slow-burning ballad or an arsenic-laced break-up song, and his charming stage show always incorporates a dash of the experimental. You never know when Michael’s expressive baritone and lush piano-playing will be accompanied by vintage slides, a pink megaphone, a tap dancer or a small orchestra.
