Peter Care

In 2005, Care received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his music videos from the MVPA. He also re-united with R.E.M. to direct two music videos, and began a new project with his old friends from Cabaret Voltaire, a box-set of their early albums with new visuals. He directed an episode of the HBO Series Six Feet Under (Season Four) and continued to direct commercials – for Allstate, Nikon, Ameritrade, and Toyota.

Care's first feature film was The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, produced by Jodie Foster's Egg Pictures. The film, starring Emile Hirsch, Jena Malone and Kieran Culkin, was based on the novel (of the same title) by the late Chris Fuhrman. Released in 2002, it was voted Best First Feature Film at the Independent Spirit Awards.

In 2002, Care joined the bi-coastal Bob Industries, where he was able to jump right back into the commercial world. Since that time he has been busy on projects for VW, Discover Card, Ameritrade, Mitsubishi, Southwest Airlines, T-Mobile, Southwestern Bell, and American Express.

In 1992 Care helped form Satellite, a division of Propaganda Films. There, his video career blossomed, working with New Order, Suzanne Vega, James, Robert Cray, Los Lobos, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and especially R.E.M. With R.E.M. he directed five videos and the concert film Road Movie.

This led to making several ground-breaking music videos for the band. One of them, "Sensoria", became the most successful "underground" video of all time. Voted Best Video of the Year (1985) by LA Times; it enjoyed a seven-month run on MTV and was one of the first three videos to be procured by the New York Museum of Modern Art.
