At the INDIE Channel they re pretty passionate about the bubbling creative culture in South Africa. From film to art to music, fashion and beyond, we re constantly in awe of the creative capabilities of young makers. But what we find even more exciting is when two or more disciplines come together to create something completely fresh. In 2016 we decided to put our money where our mouth is, and launched the first-ever Jameson INDIE Channel Music Video Grant.

Jameson invited directors, videographers, musicians, stylists, dancers and the likes to submit their ideas for a chance to win R100K in funding to make it happen. And because they got so many good proposals, they decided to award TWO entries with R100K each. The resulting music videos were a perfect combination of INDIE craft, extraordinary visuals and smooth production a true blend of the arts.
