This month, StandardVision is screening a Behind the Scenes recap of Alexa Meade, Lil Buck, and Jon Boogz’ Color of Reality as part of our Day in the Life Artist Series. The video plays once an hour on the #SVLA screen from February 6 to March 7, coinciding also with next week's rerelease of Color Of Reality during our "Best of 2016” SV Presents retrospective. The SVLA1 screen is located on the Courtyard Marriott at 901 W Olympic Blvd.
In anticipation of the Day in the Life release, we’d like to share some additional videos and information on how this fascinating piece came to be made. With over 7 million views, Color Of Reality has gone on to win numerous awards internationally and has been featured in the New York Times, and the Huffington Post among other publications.
