The 2018 Best Music Video Winner Is:

Astronaut preps for his assignment in the music video
Technicians prep an astronaut for his assignment in the music video for Overlord's song "Mission to Mars."
Pasles accepts the award for Best Music Video and dedicates it to his late mother.
  • Mission to Mars - (George Andrew Pasles, director; Andrew Wilkinson, cinematographer; Overlord, music; USA; 2016; indie rock, sci-fi, historical fiction; 3 min. 52 sec.; English) In 1969, NASA shelved the long-planned manned exploration of Mars in favor of the less expensive Space Shuttle program. But what if preparations had been made for a Mars expedition, just as the sinking economy of the 1970s doomed its extravagant goals? What if one astronaut's childhood dream is crushed, but not quite killed? 'Mission to Mars' shows the ill-fated 1977 journey that could have happened. Watch the Trailer​​​
