Bruce Gowers
Award-winning television director and producer Bruce Gowers was a pioneer in the music video industry, having directed over 350 music videos, and was best known for directing large-scale music events and award ceremonies such as the Emmy Awards, The MTV Video Music Awards, the Billboard Awards and the American Music Awards. While it was his visionary music video for Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" that launched his career stateside, he was perhaps best known as the longtime director for "American Idol" (Fox 2002-), which earned him an Emmy Award in 2009.
