This festival celebrates Independent Music Videos as a unique medium of artistic expression and a natural modern hybrid of film, music, and technology. Our mission is to create a forum where filmmakers and musicians dedicated to both independent film and independent music can showcase their work to audiences and industry-based judges.

Music videos are often considered commercially mainstream tools for marketing music to a particular demographic. However, videos can elegantly tell concise yet stylized stories with the efficiency of a well-crafted short film and with the soul and power of a good song. In the spirit of alternative media and independent art of all kinds and with a great respect for all directors and musicians who offer their unique voices and visions, this festival claims a space where directors who specialize in this medium or who merely wish to try their hand at it, can create works which will be enjoyed by an audience who appreciates and loves both music and film.

We enthusiastically support all people who pursue their passions in this field not as business endeavors but because they are consumed by their drive to create; we support all people who choose to use their skill and talent to entertain, inspire, and provoke thought. For the writers, directors, musicians, actors and others involved, each on his or her own road to self-defined success – a road with no exit – we hope to be a pit stop, enabling each to go a little farther, and we hope to provide some good scenery and music for this part of the journey, as well.

No Exit is currently the largest Music Video Festival on the East Coast, and continues to grow at an amazing speed. We accept entries from anywhere in the world and place no restrictions on musical genre or video subject matter.

The Festival will consist of one day of 25 Music Videos, 4 musical acts, guest speakers, celebrity appearances, guest DJ’s, industry and talent scout interviews, corporate contests and we end it all off with off with an awards ceremony.

Be a part of the next big thing!!!!
