Directors of my Genre

It was very difficult to find people who direct music videos in my chosen genre, but I finally found two, so I can make a post about them

Adam Powell
Adam Powell is the director of the music video for the song 'The Road' that I am using. He started directing films by going skateboarding while in school and filming friends while skating. He went from skate videos to music videos in university when his friends band asked him to film a video for their new song, as they had just been signed to a record label. He used 2 types of film to record this, digital video and super 8mm film. He started working with Ascension, a production company, and started working with bands in my genre such as The King Blues, Architects and Gallows, who he made 5 videos for. After working with Gallows he was approached by Black Dogs RSA, who are a UK hip-hop video company, making him go in a different direction from the genre he was used to, but this has given him recognition as a director of successful music videos and has increased the amount of videos he has made massively

Darren Doane
Darren Doane is a director who was an influence on Adam Powell and many others, creating many music videos over the years and recently moving into film. He has produced videos for many bands, including AFI, Blink-182, Atreyu and Chiodos, who are all bands in my genre. He originally wanted to draw comic books, but after being rejected from comic production companies he moved towards filming and then towards music videos.
