Scene from music video for "Snickers or Reese’s" by Direct Hit!
These are boom times for music videos in Milwaukee. The city is producing more music videos than ever before, and more visionary music videos than ever before. If you want to watch them, though, your options are pretty much limited to YouTube or Vimeo—not always the most glamorous platform for work that deserves to be seen on something bigger than a computer screen. How great it is, then, that each year the Milwaukee Film Festival gives some of the city's best-done music videos the platform they deserve with its annual Milwaukee Music Video Show, as part of its Cream City Cinema program.
