Don Wilson
Don Wilson has produced, directed and edited award-winning feature length documentary films, national commercials, television news, NFL sports broadcasts, hit network sitcoms and comedy shows, major motion picture trailers and tv spots, prime time dramas, HBO and Showtime music and comedy specials, five Olympic games and high-end corporate videos. Don has also spent time in the executive ranks as Director of Editorial Services and Graphics at Varitel and EDS Digital Studios, as an Executive Producer at Craig Murray Productions, as Vice President of The Selluloid Group, and as a Co-principal with AMI. But perhaps most importantly, Don was one of the founding fathers of the music video and literally helped create the MTV style. In fact, Fortune magazine once named him the most important editor in the music video business, he won a Video Music Award, and he was nominated for several MTV Music Video Awards. The list of musical acts with which he has worked is nearly infinite, but some of the biggest acts include Bon Jovi, Sting, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Pearl Jam, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, The Pretenders, and Alanis Morissette. His awards have not been limited to music videos; his work as an executive producer, director, and editor has earned him Best Director, Best Feature Documentary, four Telly Awards, and an Emmy.
