Michael Jackson's connection to movie directors are far, long and global. While film directors dominated Michael Jackson’s music video collection, the iconic singer also worked with several regular music video directors who helped him bring his songs to life on the small screen. Here are some of those directors.

Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" music video was directed and edited by Don Wilson (editing too? Wilson's got Talent!). Wilson also works in Television, directing reality shows including Hitched or Ditched (Premiered in the Summer of 2009) and The Swan as well as documentaries. He also works on movie trailers.

In an American Pop Culture interview, Wilson describes the decision to not use Michael Jackson in the music video by saying "the lyrics really dictated the content" and even mentioned a remake of "Man in the Mirror" that was close to developing until Jackson's sudden death recently.

Bruce Gowers who directed "Rock with You" has done work in other music videos and television.

Paul Hunter lent his directing services to Michael Jackson for "You Rock my World" starring actor, Marlon Brando and comedian, Chris Tucker.

Wayne Isham directed the "You Are Not Alone" music video by Michael Jackson. Music videos seem to be Isham's specialty.

Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" was directed by Nick Saxton. Who knows what Saxton is doing now? He doesn't seem to have any new credit listings, as the information comes to a halt after the early 90s. Maybe he started producing music videos instead of directing, but whatever.
