MadonnaTribe readers probably remember the news about a DVD compilation collecting the work of acclaimed director Mark Romanek has been in the works since more than one year.

Our friend Robster from MadonnaMad.com has just find out that the official website of Romanek has now finally given a date to this long awaited release: “The Work of Director Mark Romanek“, the fourth in the series produced by Palm Pictures will be finally released on September 13, 2005 together with three more volumes, including one dedicated to another Madonna video artist, the director of the “Fever” video, Stéphane Sednaoui.

“The directors label returns on September 13th 2005 with simultaneous releases from four more of the world’s most acclaimed directors: Mark Romanek, Anton Corbijn, Jonathan Glazer & Stéphane Sednaoui, once again produced by Richard Brown for Palm Pictures.

Palm Pictures launched the Directors Label in october 2003 with a groundbreaking format showcasing the individual creative talents of three of the world’s most maverick film-makers, by mapping their ascendancy through the world of music and advertising. These DVDs are a unique director-created and compiled series featuring music videos, shorts and commercials, special features including interviews, alternate versions, unseen short films & documentaries, behind the scenes footage and commentaries from various featured artists and collaborators. They are specially packaged with never before seen photographs, storyboards, drawings and interviews and have helped define what is expected of today’s music dvd releases.

The Directors label and Palm Pictures are also proud to announce that all three of the debut directors label dvds from the series’ founders – Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry & Chris Cunningham, the director of Madonna’s “Frozen” video and re-Invention tour backdrop video – have been individually certified gold.

Mark Romanek directed the incredible videos for Madonna’s Bedtime Story and Rain. Stèphan Sednaoui, director of the Fever video, was also in charge of the video of Disco science by Mirwais. Mirwais himself has been presented to Madonna by Stéphane, and that’s how he became the producer of Madonna’s latest albums.

Thanks to Robster at MadonnaMad.
