Why trust Darren? Because he's made some of your favorite videos of all time.
"The most prolific director of his generation,” according to MTV’s Matt Pinfield. Darren Doane was breaking new ground with alternative bands and directing and editing techniques that would soon become the mainstream. Blink 182, The Deftones, Pennywise, Strife, The Promise Ring, AFI, MxPx, Jimmy Eat World and Thursday would all break into the regular rotation of MTV, FUSE, Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes -- and Doane helmed videos for all of them.
