This is an incredible resource! I wish I had this 10 years ago when I was trying to figure this stuff out (I still haven't fwiw) Big props to all the contributors.
Our new TREATMENT DATABASE is live! What's new: 1. More treatments, 40 more to be exact! 2. You can now sort by filters - you’ll want to check out our new “classics” section 😉 3. You can also sort by release date, artist and director name wedirectmusicvideos.com/trea…

Last year, director @dunkwun tweeted his frustrations with the music industry’s exploitative treatment of music video directors. The tweets sparked a huge discussion, and out of that came @WeDirectMV. Read how Kwan’s project aims to change an industry > tv.booooooom.com/2019/09/02/…

How is it that there is an ENTIRE award show dedicated to Music Videos (cough cough @vmas @MTV) yet NOT A SINGLE DIRECTOR is ever mentioned? Where do you think this videos come from? Who comes up with the concepts? Who makes them? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night for joining the conversation. There is still so much we as a community have to do to re-educate our industry. We all have to step up and become the teachers. 📝📝📝 #wedirectmusicvideos

if labels and commissioners took these guidelines to heart the music video community would thrive in a way it hasn't before. the industry also wouldn't chew through directors in a couple years time.
Please read our Guidelines before joining the meeting tonight so we can spend more time discussing and answering your questions than summarizing! Read them here or below: smarturl.it/WDMVPitchingGBP

megathread for you mega nerds. If you have any concerns or questions about our guidelines, they'll probably be addressed in this thread. then you'll be fully brainwashed, and fully in our cult. our cult of well-meaning people trying to spread respect and transparency 👹👹👹
Thanks to everyone who reached out with questions about our new pitching guidelines and best practices — here’s a thread where we address a lot of the big questions we’ve been getting 👇

“In a world where YouTube is paying 1.8 billion to the music industry and music videos make up 90 of the current 100 most viewed YouTube videos of all time, it’s time to rethink the value of music videos both culturally and financially." @WeDirectMV lbbonline.com/news/wdmv-advo…
