Mary Lambert

Music Video Director 7 videos the 80s

Mary Lambert directed five early Madonna videos between 1984 and 1989, establishing the visual language for pop's transition into high-concept narrative filmmaking. "Like a Prayer" wove religious imagery with social commentary, while "Material Girl" restaged Hollywood musical tropes for the MTV generation. Lambert moved into feature directing in the late 1980s, helming Pet Sematary and its sequel.
