Melina is a very famous American director of music videos and commercials who is from a Greek, Jewish, Jamaican and Cuban descent.

She started out at Black dog film, then the Gorilla Flix film production company and is now working as a director at Prettybird which she signed to in 2011.
She has made a number of music videos with a range of artists from Rihanna (RnB/Pop) to No Doubt (Punk) and has made videos for a huge range of very well know artists like Whitney Houston and Beyonce.
Matsoukas videos are known as "chalk full of bright colours or crisp black and white images, smooth spotlights, and tasteful retro video models."Melina Matsoukas believes that you do not need expensive equipment in order to make a good quality video, she quotes that "A good video has the right visuals, a well conceptualised story and should be exciting and elicit reaction."
