Palm Pictures in collaboration with Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham unveil The Directors Label, a unique director-created and compiled DVD series featuring music videos, shorts and commercials, and special features including interviews, alternate versions, unseen short films & documentaries, behind the scenes footage and commentaries from various featured artists and collaborators. Each release will be specially packaged and include a 52-page book full of never before seen photographs, storyboards, drawings and interviews. The first Directors Label release will be The Work of Director Spike Jonze on August 26, to be followed in near-monthly intervals by The Work of Director Chris Cunningham and The Work of Director Michel Gondry, respectively.
"Michel and I have been talking about this forever," says Directors Label co-founder Spike Jonze. "A couple of years ago we talked to Chris, which got us motivated. I'm so excited we're finally getting it together. I can't wait to see what Chris and Michel put on their DVDs."
The series will be released in Japan in late 2003 through a licensing arrangement between Palm and Japanese film company Asmik Ace. Plans for additional international releases are currently being completed, and the series will be released worldwide by early 2004.
