Romanek was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Shirlee and Marvin Romanek. He credits seeing Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey at the age of nine with inspiring him to become a film director. He experimented with Super 8 and 16mm film as a teenager while attending New Trier High School. There, he studied first with Kevin Dole, a local filmmaker who was already creating a form of music video on his own in the mid-1970s, and then with Peter Kingsbury, a filmmaker who had studied with experimentalists Owen Land, John Luther Schofill, and Stan Brakhage at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Both teachers exposed students to works by significant figures of the American avant-garde cinema, such as Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, and Paul Sharits.
"You can have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down."
"Most videos are about creating eye candy, a pretty image that can be a marketing tool. We just tried to show the simple truth of what's going on in his life. It's kind of a sucker punch when you see it the first time because we're not used to that emotional depth in music videos."
"Taxi Driver."
"I thought about him in Seize the Day and his cameo in Dead Again , so it wasn't a leap to see him as a guy who's damaged goods. I think he connected to that guy. I think when someone has the talent Robin has, it makes you a bit of an outsider."

Photographers in Focus: Mark Romanek
American filmmaker Mark Romanek has been behind the lens of some of the greatest music video of all time, including Nine Inch Nails’s grimy S&M-laden Closer, Michael Jackson’s iconic future vision in Scream and the touching portrait of singer Johnny Cash for his version of track Hurt.
Though best known for his feature films One Hour Photo and Never Let Me Go, and as one of the trailblazing directors leading the way during the heyday of MTV, Romanek has spent his career quietly photographing the A-list company he finds himself in each day. Unearthed recently for a recent exhibition at Paris concept store Colette, the images give an intimate view into the moments between takes, from time in the studio with Kanye West to bumping into Iggy Pop on the street.

99 PROBLEMS MUSIC VIDEO | Why Mark Romanek is a Genius: I went through a period a watching loads of music videos in order to plan for something I was making and I arrived at the work of Mark Romanek. His body of work is unreal but their was something deeper about the visuals in the 99 problems video. This video is an investigation into the meaning within the song and the music video itself featuring Jay-Z.
Romanek was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Shirlee and Marvin Romanek. He credits seeing Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey at the age of nine with inspiring him to become a film director. He experimented with Super 8 and 16mm film as a teenager while attending New Trier High School. There, he studied first with Kevin Dole, a local filmmaker who was already creating a form of music video on his own in the mid-1970s, and then with Peter Kingsbury, a filmmaker who had studied with experimentalists Owen Land, John Luther Schofill, and Stan Brakhage at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Both teachers exposed students to works by significant figures of the American avant-garde cinema, such as Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, and Paul Sharits.
