Mike Patterson is an experimental film artist and a commercial film director specializing in TV spots and music videos. After graduate studies with Jules Engel at CalArts, Mike was brought to the attention of record executives with his Student Academy Award winning animated short 'Commuter'. Employing his unmistakable drawing style, he began his career in music videos in 1985 by animating the epic MTV hit 'Take On Me' for A-Ha. He teamed up with his wife Candace Reckinger to direct a string of MTV hits that include, Suzanne Vega's 'Luka', Sting's 'Be Still My Beating Heart', Donald Fagen's 'Tomorrow's Girls', and Paula Abdul's 'Opposites Attract', which won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 1990, plus videos for seminal Los Angeles punk band, X. Their videos have received MTV, Billboard, MVPA, and American Music Awards, and continue to appear on classic top 100 music video lists.
