The Directors Label is a series of DVDs devoted to notable music video directors. First released in 2003 by Palm Pictures, the series was created by Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, and Michel Gondry, the subjects of the first three volumes. Four new volumes were released in 2005, this time featuring Mark Romanek, Jonathan Glazer, Anton Corbijn and Stephane Sednaoui. Other directors rumoured to be in future releases are Hammer & Tongs (director/producer duo Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith), Mike Mills, Shynola, Samuel Bayer, Jonas Åkerlund, Jean-Baptiste Mondino and Roman Coppola. David Fincher has refused the offer to release his own Directors Label volume. Gondry says he will be getting a second volume in the future. [1]

[edit] Series 1 Box Set

Shortly after the release of the first three volumes, Palm Pictures released a box set including all three plus a bonus disc featuring more recent content. Because no additional Cunningham videos were included on the disc, the box set also included a poster with images from the Cunningham disc. Those who purchased the three volumes individually could receive the bonus disc and poster by e-mailing Palm Pictures, but Palm Pictures is no longer able to provide the bonus DVD and Poster.
