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.

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.
