CFA is throwing its second annual Media Mixer benefit at the most popular watering hole in town – the Hideout! Hosted by WBEZ’s Alison Cuddy, this party opens with music critic extraordinaire, Peter Margasak spinning the tunes and blasts its way through to the midnight hour with “musician, misfit, culture warrior and bullshitter,” BOBBY CONN & Monica Boubou! But at the heart of this fabulously fun Media Mixer is the PREMIERE of 3 video collaborations made entirely with footage from CFA. Here’s the formula:
- CFA footage x 3 filmmakers x 3 audio artists
- Shake them up
- Throw 3 magical sight and sound creations up on the screen
And here’s who we’ve got:
