    WHO:

    --  Jake Scott: Awarded an Emmy in 2002 for his direction of
        Nike's "Move," director Jake Scott uses an original cinematic
        approach to explore the gamut of human emotion, from humor and
        pathos to aesthetic wonder. In 2001, the "Move" commercial
        quickly became an anthem for athletes around the world and
        received several international accolades for Scott, including
        the Emmy for Best Commercial. Scott is also an award-winning
        music video director, and in 1999 he received the VH-1 Vogue
        Fashion Award for Most Stylish Video (No Doubt's "New," from
        the soundtrack to the motion picture Go). His music video for
        Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" was recently voted by MTV as
        one of the 100 Greatest Music Videos of All Time, as was the
        video he directed for R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts." Scott made
        his feature directorial debut in October 1999 with the USA
        Films release Plunkett & Macleane. The film, based on the
        real-life exploits of two notorious 18th-century highwaymen,
        stars Liv Tyler, Jonny Lee Miller, and Robert Carlyle. Scott
        is also deeply involved in the development of several other
        feature-film projects.
