Bryan Barber (b. 1970) established himself as a screenwriter and director of successful music clips; over the last seven years his prominent "clients" have included Missy Elliott, Kelly Clarkson, Ludacris, the girl band Destiny's Child and Christina Aguilera. At the age of 23 he began working with the music duo OutKast and, for his video clip for the song The Whole World, he was nominated in the category Best Hip-Hop Video (MTV Video Music Awards). In 2003 he demonstrated his distinctive vision in clips from the multi-platinum album by mini-band OutKast Speakerboxxx / The Love Below, and the following year brought him trophies for the clip for the hit single Hey, Ya! (Video of the Year, Best Hip-Hop Video, Best Special Effects and Best Direction, all from the satellite TV music channel MTV). The film Idlewild is Barber's feature film debut.
