180 Creative Lab invited filmmakers such as Hiro Murai, the duo Becky & Joe and Joaquín Mora.
Through a competition, this was a chance for a band to have their work transported to video by directors who have already portrayed the music of names such as St. Vincent, Frank Ocean and The Shins (Hiro Murai) or Tame Impala and Unknown Mortal Orchestra (Becky & Joe).
