DIRECTOR BREAKTHROUGH:  It’s a touchy subject that many people in 
the industry don’t want to acknowledge: African-American video 
directors are usually working in R&B and hip-hop, and they’re 
rarely given an opportunity to work in other genres of music.

	But widely acclaimed video director Paul Hunter recently 
broke through the racial sterotyping by lensing rock band 
Everclear’s latest video, "Father Of Mine."  The clip was shot in 
the Los Angeles-area neighborhoods where Everclear front man Art 
Alexakis spent much of his childhood.  It’s an effective video 
that chronicles the life of a boy alienated from his father.

	Kudos to Hunter, HSI Productions, Everclear, and Capitol 
Records for recognizing that talent is truly color-blind.
