He grew up in New York’s Greenwich Village, attented the famed High School of Music and Art where he finessed his sense of composition, started by designing album cover sleeves before putting both feet in music videos before falling into directing - more through serendipity than “planned purpose” or “burning desire”, according to his own words.
His work never gets unnoticed – and now he’s become an award favorite and received a generous anointment from the Directors Guild of America no latter than this year, it never will. He’s been envied for his complete artistic versatility and ability of never getting pinned into one corner. Flattered for his ability to convey a subtle, dark brand of humor in a filmic, stylistic, performance-led way - resorting to cream of the crop digital trickery whenever needed.
You can find a mere selection of his works below. You won’t choke of laughter while watching any of them, but you might just die of jealous wonder. And Dante Ariola will be the name to thank for such a noble death - just in case you were planning to sue us.
