Mark Romanek (born September 18, 1959) is an American filmmaker whose directing work includes feature films, music videos, and commercials.
Romanek wrote and directed the 2002 film One Hour Photo and directed the 2010 film Never Let Me Go. His most notable music videos include "Hurt" (Johnny Cash), "Closer" (Nine Inch Nails), "Criminal" (Fiona Apple), "Scream" (Michael & Janet Jackson), "Got 'til It's Gone" (Janet Jackson) "Bedtime Story" (Madonna), "Can't Stop" (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and "Shake It Off" (Taylor Swift).
Romanek's music videos have won 20 MTV Video Music Awards, including Best Direction for Jay-Z's "99 Problems", and he has won three Grammy Awards for Best Short Form Music Video (more than any other director).
Romanek was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Shirlee and Marvin Romanek. He credits seeing Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey at the age of nine with inspiring him to become a film director. He experimented with Super 8 and 16mm film as a teenager while attending New Trier High School. There, he studied first with Kevin Dole, a local filmmaker who was already creating a form of music video on his own in the mid-1970s, and then with Peter Kingsbury, a filmmaker who had studied with experimentalists Owen Land, John Luther Schofill, and Stan Brakhage at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Both teachers exposed students to works by significant figures of the American avant-garde cinema, such as Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, and Paul Sharits.
Michael Trent Reznor (born May 17, 1965), known professionally as Trent Reznor, is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and film score composer. As a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, he has led the industrial rock project Nine Inch Nails since 1988. His first release as Nine Inch Nails, the 1989 album Pretty Hate Machine, was a commercial and critical success. He has since released eight studio albums. He left Interscope Records in 2007 and was an independent recording artist until signing with Columbia Records in 2012.
Reznor was associated with the bands Option 30, The Urge, The Innocent, and Exotic Birds in the mid-1980s. Outside of Nine Inch Nails, he has contributed to the albums of artists such as Marilyn Manson and Saul Williams. He and his wife, Mariqueen Maandig, are members of the post-industrial group How to Destroy Angels, alongside Reznor's fellow composer Atticus Ross and long-time Nine Inch Nails graphic designer Rob Sheridan.
Reznor and Ross scored the David Fincher films The Social Network (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and Gone Girl (2014), winning the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Social Network and the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In 1997, Reznor appeared in Time's list of the year's most influential people, while Spin magazine has described him as "the most vital artist in music".
Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart (born September 13, 1977) is an American singer-songwriter, pianist and record producer. Classically trained on piano as a child, Apple began composing her own songs when she was eight years old. Her debut album, Tidal, written when Apple was seventeen, was released in 1996 and received a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single "Criminal". She followed with When the Pawn... (1999), produced by Jon Brion, which was also critically and commercially successful and went certified platinum.
For her third album, Extraordinary Machine (2005), Apple again collaborated with Brion, and began recording the album in 2002. However, Apple was reportedly unhappy with the production and opted not to release the record, leading fans to erroneously protest Epic Records, believing that the label was withholding its release. The album was eventually re-produced without Brion and released in October 2005 to critical acclaim. She released her fourth studio album, The Idler Wheel..., in 2012, which was followed by an extensive tour of the USA. The album received universal praise.

In the early 1990's my career was inspired and motivated by music video's, directors like David Fincher and Samuel Bayer. But one director who I believe broke the mold is Mark Romanek. Along the way, the Grammy winner has been behind some of the world's most famous--and infamous--videos. On the groundbreaking side, there's Lenny Kravitz's exhilarating "Are You Gonna Go My Way," which made the musician a star in one fell swoop. On the controversial side, there's Fiona Apple's teasing "Criminal," Jay-Z's apocalyptic "99 Problems and "Nine Inch Nails' macabre "Closer," It is one of only two that the Museum of Modern Art has added to its permanent collection. So, I noticed that there has not been a collage of his notable music video work so I decided to make one. I hope you enjoy it. Ed...

Based on Mary Mapes’ book, Truth and Duty: The Press, The President, And The Privilege of Power, James Vanderbilt’s Truth, the directorial debut of the Zodiac scribe, is currently enjoying a limited theatrical run. In the film, Robert Redford plays Dan Rather, the famed newscaster, while Cate Blanchett takes on the role of Mapes herself, Rather’s producer, who discovered news that George W. Bush may have been AWOL from the United States National Guard during the Vietnam War and ran the story on 60 Minutes II. What happened during the production of the story and its aftermath make up the bulk of Truth’s studious drama. Attending the recent Los Angeles press day, I sat down with Vanderbilt for an extended video interview where he talked about the genesis of the project and adapting Mapes’ b...

So you want to make music videos. Want to follow in the foot steps of David Fincher, Mark Romanek and Spike Jonez? It’s not a bad plan at all. Many filmmakers start off in music videos. It’s a great place to get experience, learn the tools and experiment. I’ve directed a few music videos in my day and have worked in some capacity on hundreds over the years. I wanted to do an episode where I breakdown my process for making a music video. The music video in question is for the band Ozomatli and the stand up comic Gabriel Iglesias aka Fluffy. Gab and I have done a few projects together over the years, two of which were music videos, Hey It’s Fluffy and Stand Up Revolution. I had an absolute ball shooting both. Today we will be dissecting Stand Up Revolution, which was for his Comedy Centra...

This is an introductory video by me (Teriek Williams, teriekwilliams@gmail.com), for the 2002 cult classic film One Hour Photo by music video director Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go) starring the late Robin Williams (Good Will Hunting), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Michael Vartan (Alias), Eriq La Salle (ER, Coming to America), Clark Gregg (The Avengers), Gary Cole (Office Space, Veep), Erin Daniels (A Single Man) and Dylan Smith (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl). In a rare dark dramatic performance by Robin Williams, One Hour Photo focuses on Seymour "Sy" Parrish (Williams), a socially isolated one hour photo technician who becomes infatuated with a suburban family and his "picture perfect" conception of their reality. However, when that image becomes fractured by his...
