  • Supports Athens Filmmakers
    Clint and Jeremy of Flickskinny.com began the “True Tour Story Project” in the spring of 2006. The conversation leading to it’s for- mation went something like this: Clint: The “Sprockets Film Festival” wants us to do a cartoon for them, but the deadline for it’s only one month away! What the hell are we going to do?!? Jeremy: Obviously, we’ll have to leave the country. Clint: Brilliant! Jeremy: But wait, with the dollar so low maybe it would be wiser to record some “musician types” telling their wackiest personal tour storiesand then all we’ll have to do is crudely animate them. Clint: I liked your first idea better. After 24 days of heated debate (culminating in a final arm-wres- tling showdown), the “True Tour Story Project” was declared a “go” and is now an annual tradition with a new True Tour Stories to premier tonight at the “Sprockets Film Festival.” (To submit your story email [email protected].) #Sprockets2014 FILM ATHENS presents: SPROCKETS MUSIC VIDEO FESTIVAL Started in 2004, the Sprockets International Music Video Festival is the longest running film festival exclusively for music videos in the world. Held each summer in Athens, GA – a city known worldwide for its vibrant music and arts scene.
