How did you get chosen to direct Rick Ross' 'Hustlin' & DJ Khaled's 'Born & Raised' video?

Gil Green: I had met Rick over five years ago on the set of a Trina video. He knew that I directed this film for Three 6 Mafia, called Choices. He loved the film and told me that when he does his first video, that he wants me to direct it.

Rick is true to his word. When I first heard Khaled playing "Hustlin", I was blown away by the song. I wrote a treatment for the video, before they decided what record label they were going to be on.

I just knew this was the biggest song of the year. Also, growing up in Miami, I knew exactly what to show in this video. Not the Miami all the tourists know, but how we grow up down here, over the bridge.

I was really associated with the Born & Raised video out of my love for the song and watching Khaled, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross, and Pit all come up from their beginnings. I mean I saw these cats put in the hard work to get where they are and have always been proud how they rep Miami. I Executive Produced the video through my own production company ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
