Recognised as one of the most acclaimed and iconic bands in the history of music, The Who are set to re-affirm their global legendary status with the imminent release of ‘Quadrophenia: The Director’s Cut’ boxset on November 14 through Universal Music Catalogue.
To commemorate the album’s release and pay homage to 1960s “Mod Culture”, The Who are inviting filmmakers and animators to submit a music video for the chance to have it produced as the official video for ‘5.15’. The video should reflect the early 1960’s “Mod” and show inspiration from the musical and visionary journey portrayed in that era.
“Over the years we’ve enjoyed working with many great video production teams so we are very excited to see what the next generation of creative thinkers are capable of producing.” – Pete Townshend, 2011.
The winner will receive $2000 and will work with Universal Music Group’s marketing team to finalise the video which will be featured and promoted on www.thewho.com and The Who’s social media channels.
The winner will also receive:
– a signed Fender guitar by Pete Townshend
– ‘Quadrophenia: The Director’s Cut’ boxset
