HOUSTON - eTradeWire -- The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic took a substantial toll on Hollywood box-offices, as well as independent filmmakers across the globe. No one could have ever anticipated 2020 would usher in a disease which would cause cinematic productions to come to a screeching halt. As is the case with any crisis situation, organizations learn to adapt and pivot. After months of being on hiatus, the Houston Gospel Music Coalition has reorganized their film festival for a virtual delivery. In the world of entertainment, the show must go on.

The second HG Music Video and Film Festival (HGMVFF) is scheduled to convene over two days virtually, Friday, January 22 – Saturday, January 23, 2021. It will premiere Friday at 7 p.m.  Then conclude Saturday, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Houston Gospel Music Coalition has teamed up with The Cam Agency, LLC and expanded their scope by presenting music video and film virtually, as an extraordinary premium exposure opportunity. With great anticipation, the Houston Gospel Music Coalition is pleased to host the second Music Video and Film Festival, in Houston, Texas.

"We are delighted to host the 2021 Virtual HG Music Video and Film Festival, in Houston, Texas. This year's festival will be totally virtual with pre-screenings on Facebook for public viewing and judging," says President and Festival Director, Catherine Dorsey. The final festival presentation will be delivered on the CamVision365 Digital Network.
