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.
