You know how the Beaufort Film Festival and the Beaufort Music Festival are practically boyfriend-girlfriend? Well, welcome to the BeauShow Disco, the "festival" where "all are welcome" to celebrate our (let's call it) confluence, where cool music and cool movies meet.

The BeauShow Disco hereby seeks submissions of (what your grandpa used to call) "music videos" (sometimes known as "songs") from musicians and filmmakers working in all music genres: blues, country, jazz, rock, hip hop, soul, pop, classical, etc. And of course all the punks: pop-punk, post-punk, cowpunk, dance-punk, folk-punk, punk-metal, ska-punk. (We like punk music, is the thing.) For the record, and perhaps counterintuitively, we really don't like "disco" that much, but we'll allow it.

And then the Beaufort Music Festival will help select the "coolest" clips to throw together in a loop, and then screen at a dance-party type deal at one of our (honestly cool) movie venues: we've got a retro-hip Drive-In (made out of shipping containers), plus we've got a more intimate indoor venue (right next door to a micro-brewery), and we can always bust up a pop-up screen in a parking lot somewhere. Either way, it'll be a hoot, if not a hootenanny.

All songs welcome.
