SHORT FILMS OF LEADING MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTORS
ENJOYS LA PREMIERE

The Music Video Production Association (MVPA) will be holding the premiere
screening of The 7th Annual Director©ˆs Cuts Film Festival next month, which
highlights short films and experimental works of today©ˆs leading music video
directors for the Los Angeles film community.

In addition to the incredibly diverse short films, three previously unaired
director©ˆs cuts of music videos will screen, two of which are world
premieres, by master directors Mark Romanek, Mark Pellington and Michel
Gondry.

The event will be held at Universal Studios on Friday, January 7, 2005. The
screening will be followed by a reception with the filmmakers and hosted
bar. Ticket order forms are currently available at www.mvpa.com.

©¯We feel really strongly about these films, that were selected by a panel of
their music video peers,©˜ says festival producer Drea Clark. ©¯With so many
music video directors going on to helm feature projects, this is a great way
to get an idea of their narrative potential.©˜

The program has premiered in Los Angeles annually to top feature film
scouts, agency creatives and management companies, and tickets have been in
high demand since its inception in 1998. The 98 minute program includes
work by 15 directors and covers all visual and emotional genres.

The 7th Annual Director©ˆs Cuts Film Festival features short films by
directors with such video experience as: Brett Simon (Hoobastank "The
Reason"), Shaun Peterson (Train ©¯Calling All Angels©˜), Charles Jensen (Von
Bondies ©¯Tell Me What You See©˜), Eric Henry (Buckethead ©¯Spokes for the
Wheels of Torment©˜), Doug Aitken (Barenaked Ladies ©¯It©ˆs All Been Done©˜),
Ruben Fleischer (Dizzee Rascal ©¯Stand Up Tall©˜), Bob Odenkirk (HBO©ˆs Mr.
Show), Dustin Robertson (Usher ©¯Yeah©˜, editor) and more.

Many of the past directors have secured multi-picture deals, gained high
profile representation and confirmed development arrangements as a result of
the LA Program.
