zff people:

The Zero community is a global collection of creative spirits unabashed by social structures forcing individuals into conformity and security. They have not confused financial success with personal achievement. These are the brave people who have dedicated themselves to the fulfillment of their potential, to the realization of their creative possibility, be it through film or music.

It is our hopes to create a platform for building communication between filmmakers and musicians, to create a common place where bands are able work collectively with filmmakers to create new videos and where filmmakers are able to work with bands to find sounds to maximize the impact of their cinematic work. Feel free to contact the members of the Zero community.
