On Saturday night, April 27, the Rock & Reel music video competition came to a conclusion with a screening and awards ceremony.

In its inaugural year, the grassroots Providence-based project pairs local musicians with independent filmmakers for one weekend only to conceive, write, shoot and edit a music video.

The 9 teams of musicians and filmmakers revealed their narrative videos to the public at the newly re-opened Columbus Theater on Broadway in Providence this past Saturday evening. Videos ranged from charming to to morbidly stunning in an evening that proved the worth of Rhode Island’s cinematic and music scene. See each video here.
