Dale Resteghini
Dale Resteghini's highly stylized work as a Music Video Director has brought him around the world and to the forefront of his craft as a premier Director.

Resteghini, also known as 'Rage' among his Rock, Hip Hop & Pop Music peers due to his relentless pursuit for achieving the impossible is regarded as the most working Music Video Director of the modern era and is known around the world in industry circles as being the only Music Video Director in the history of the medium to amass over 100 ROCK Videos and over 100 HIP HOP Videos from his total of nearly 700 Music Videos in less than 10 years.

Back when the MTV, BET and FUSE television networks were playing Music Videos, Resteghini's works were constantly found at the top of all of their play lists, and many have been nominated for various awards within the music community. He has worked with a stellar list of diverse artists of today such as Nicky Minaj, Fall Out Boy, Pitbull, Diddy, Soulja Boy, Ice Cube, Flo Rida, The RZA, TI, Gym Class Heroes aka Travie McCoy, Method Man, Redman, Jim Jones, Rick Ross, Guns N Roses, Tyga, Camron, Hatebreed, Mudvayne, Li'l Wayne, Ja Rule, E-40, Lil Kim, The Game, Keyshia Cole, Bun B, Everlast, Chiddy Bang, N-Dubz, Akon, MIMS, Ray J, Birdman aka Baby, Lil Jon, Snoop Dogg, Sizzla, Mohombi, Alexandra Burke, Too Short, Cypress Hill, Ludacris, Trina, Lemar, Three 6 Mafia, Vanilla Ice, Dionne Bromfield, Tinchy Stryder, Juelz Santana, Kottonmouth Kings, Alter Bridge, Saigon, Children Of Bodom, Busta Rhymes, All That Remains, Craig David, Mr. Hudson, Fear Factory, Silverstein, Tanya Stephens, Adelitas Way, Mayday Parade, Hawthorne Heights and many others during his career in videos.

Resteghini has helmed projects as far as Perth, Australia to the United Kingdom, Jamaica, Argentina and Chile as well as many other places around the world and throughout the USA and Canada.

While Resteghini has several filmmaker influences which include Robert Aldrich, Tony Scott, Orson Welles Spielberg, Mann, Ridley Scott, Michael Mann, John Huston and some others, he is often known for quoting 'Rocky Balboa' as he feels the essence of the famed fictional character made famous by Sylvester Stallone, represents most of the known world to some degree and it's this blue collar working class attitude and approach he brings to each and every set he works on in order to complete the task at hand.

Long before he managed to start knocking on Hollywood's door, Resteghini who is a native of Boston, moved to NYC with a focus on his craft as an actor but along the way Resteghini found himself drawn away from the front of the camera to behind it where he realized he can create any world he wants. His approach was highly original and bold which allowed him to stand tall in a sea filled with talent who were all starving for their chance to prove themselves. However, it was his very early videos which just exploded on screen which let us see an important new artist burst upon the new Music Video Industry, an industry which has suffered in recent years due to the ever evolving music economy. Due to the accolades of his early work, Resteghini was asked to direct a video for a still unknown, Fall Out Boy and their teen anthem "Grand Theft Autumn." The resulting piece was an instant hit, drawing him immediate and broad video attention and an MTV Award. It served to propel both Fall Out Boy and Resteghini into the forefront of the rock world. Work with other top artists soon followed. In 2004 he became a founding partner of the NYC based music video production company, Raging Nation Films, Inc. with his partner and wife Kim Resteghini.

    • Quotes
      Even though I may have tripped myself up some 50 or 60 times in my younger years, I managed to never blame anyone but myself and I finally defeated the demons that were in me to become the man I was raised to be by my mother and father. If I learned anything in this life it is in fact true that it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's if you can keep getting up and stay in the fight to give yourself a chance to win!
