WAMP’s annual 48 hour music video took place over the weekend of September 11th to 13th, 2020. On Friday September 11th at 5:00 pm, WAMP president Pablo Saravanja drew songs to match with filmmakers. The draw and screening took place virtually this year, to abide by COVID-19 regulations. This year, we had more song submissions than filmmakers register which meant a few musicians did not have a music video produced. Judging took place on the evening of Sunday, September 13th where we also filmed the results. We would like to thank our judges Camilla MacEachern from the NWT Film Commission, Ashley Makohoniuk from the board of Folk on the Rocks, and Andrew Goodwin from Cabin Radio.
