Behind The Lens: Director Jim Yukich

It’s safe to say that with 250-300+ (more like 500) music videos to his credit, saying Jim Yukich is a great director is wildly understated. He’s accomplished a lot more as well, directing 1500+ episodes of “Chelsea Lately” over 7.5 years, over 60 episodes of ET over 6 months, plus 2 feature films. Add in …

I was scrolling through various sites earlier today, looking for interesting articles to post on Facebook, as I do daily.
