2001) NEW VIDEO DIRECTED BY PAUL'S LITTLE BRO
A new video by an up and coming artist Richard Lugo entitled Boom
has begun airing this past week. When you look at the directors
credits, it lists Kevin Hunter. Kevin Hunter? Could
it be a typo and actually be PAUL Hunter? Nope, it is actually
correct. Kevin Hunter is Paul's little brother, and he has
directed this new video. From what I have heard, you can expect
many more great videos from this up and coming director.

2000 - January 1, 2001) YEAR-END REVIEW
As another year comes to a close, we look back at another great year for
Paul Hunter. He directed roughly 14 new videos in 2000, including
notable videos for Christina Aguilera (Come On Over)
and Eminem (The Way I Am), just to name a few.
My personal favorites include Come On Over (Christina
Aguilera), 3 Libras (A Perfect Circle), and Stranger
In My House (Tamia). My least favorite videos were Freakin'
It (Will Smith) and Love Don't Cost A Thing
(Jennifer Lopez). This past year, it was also announced
that Paul had signed on to direct 2 movies: Old City for Fox, and
Westward for New Line. 2001 looks to be a great year for
Paul Hunter as he starts these exciting new projects.
