In just three short years, Danny Drysdale has translated his passion for music into a career directing music videos for some of the top names in the alternative music scene today, including Scissors for Lefty, The Envy Corps and The Hot Tramps. That work captured the attention of the breakout group The Killers and Drysdale began directing music videos for them, including their latest hit "Human" (which Rolling Stone readers voted as the Best Song and Music Video of 2008). The video for "Human" - shot on location in Utah's Goblin Valley State Park - was hugely successful, reaching #1 on the UK's NME charts and ranked among VH1's Top 20 videos, and was nominated for best international video on Canada's MUCH MUSIC. In that same cycle he completed a follow up and artistically acclaimed video for The Killers UK single "The World We Live In" on the heels of a a video for Omaha's Cursive, "I Couldn't Love You Anymore".

A filmmaker at heart, Drysdale began making documentaries after college and has earned a reputation for fresh, Hollywood-styled films with an indie twist. He has produced for networks such as MTV, VH1, BBC America, The Sundance Channel and Nickelodeon, and directed original content for leading talent including Terrence Howard, Paul Giamatti, Roger Ebert, and Judah Friedlander, among many others. His first feature film documentary ROCK THE BOTTOM (chronicling the lives of the top female skateboarders today) is expected to make a big impact on the film festival circuit upon its release.

He is currently directing and producing a documentary series entitled MULTI-PURPOSE GUIDE TO FILM MAKING, which is an insider's guide to independent film starring actor Crispin Glover. He is also working on a Documentary with Vanilla Ice; a deeper look into a man whose life was interrupted by fame and backlash. He is currently directing a film with Russia's prolific MUMIY TROLL, an adventurous documentary that takes a cold look at Russian Rock through the eyes of a band on the brink; of exactly what, no one totally knows. He recently completed an in-depth archive film with IAMX's Chris Corner, "You Can Be Happy" chronicles the unique change an artist encounters when he ventures to collaborate outside his comfort zone, and finds a new brand of happiness hiding in the cobwebs of his own mind. Internationally, Danny's reach is spanning through Asia, to Africa, and soon South America. His ties to the biggest artists in Russia and Europe have become an invaluable addition to his already rich connection with prolific artists within his own country. He is currently developing a project with Italy's Jovanotti, in addition to a number of new feature projects internationally.

Film Summaries of Interest:

Already ShotMUMIY TROLL - A feature documentary that chronicles the recording sessions aboard an old-time sailing vessel, Mumiy Troll's "Whatever One O'Clock" is made much in the tradition of ANVIL and THIS IS SPINAL TAP, where film-makers take a cold mean and sober look at what it means to make Post Cold War Rock and Roll, from the perspectives of 4 unique Russians all looking to go separate ways but are too afraid to admit it to each other. As they drift apart without an album in hand, we realize it takes more than freedom to make rock and roll function properly.

IAMX - An already prolific artist, Chris Corner has isolated himself from the industry for a handful of useful reasons, only to find that independent music production is more than just an expression, it's a cause for celebration Sifting through the dark caverns of his mind and the UFO studios in Berlin, Corner reunites with trusted friend and uber-producer Jim Abbiss to create his 5th and most significant album to date, The Unified Field; the first to ever be produced as a collaboration with others. Cushioned from the significant emotional blows Chris must suffer in his creation, his new offering spurs new levels of expression, and prepares Chris to make his return to The United States, empowered and poised for pandemonium. "You Can Be Happy" is as humorous as it is revealing, as dark as it is hopeful, and as honest as it is painful.

Status: European Cut now completed.

In DevelopmentJovanotti - Also known as Lorenzo Cherubini, Jovanotti charms millions of fans from over a decade of music and performance. On the heels of a massive tour to sold out arenas in Italy, Lorenzo returns to NY to find his anonymity, scraping to get 30 fans into a small venue onHouston. This documentary juxtaposes the incognito underappreciated version of Jovanotti on the streets of New York against the demanding cannot go in public persona of Italy, contrasting in real time the hard dynamics of music stardom while distilling the true reasons a man might venture to create; passion.
