Ivan Dudynsky began his career in front of the lens as a dancer for Michael Jackson, a choreographer for 'N Sync, and as an actor, in over 50 national commercials, the feature film Newsies, and the lead in the award-winning Nickelodeon series, Roundhouse. However, it was when he became a producer/editor for MTV's Peabody Award winning series, BIOrhythm, that Ivan's production career exploded.

From there, it was a fast track to success as an editor, producer and, ultimately, director. Ivan worked as an editor for the 2000 Cannes Film Festival Palm d'Or winning movie, Dancer In The Dark and as a producer/editor on Jimmy Iovine and Doug Morris' music series, Farmclub.com. However, directing was his goal. Armed with an eye for movement, impeccable timing and experience on camera from his performer days, Ivan easily took to directing, both single camera and multi-camera productions.

Since directing fulltime, Ivan has multi-camera directed Freemantle/CMT's music competition series, Can You Duet; CMT's Crossroads, Invitation Only, Cross Country, and Studio 330 Sessions music series and the Outlaws concert franchise; the season finales for CMT Gone Country and GAC's Next Star; MTV Latin America's VMAs and fashion/rock event, Fashionista; and the Mark Burnett/Sean "Diddy" Combs collaboration, P. Diddy's StarMaker for MTV.

For reality series, Ivan's produced and directed CMT's Muzik Mafia, MTV Tr3's Bust A Ritmo and three seasons of the food lover's favorite, After Hours With Daniel Boulud(Ovation/Mojo).

In single camera work, Ivan has directed music videos and promo campaigns among them several for American Idol, including their Super Bowl spot; Pepsi (Reggie Bush spot), Next Great Champ (Fox-Oscar De La Hoya) and MTV Global's international promo campaign, Playground, featuring Will i am, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lars Ulrich, Pete Wentz, Pharrell and Marilyn Manson.

Last year Ivan completed his first project with Cirque du Soleil. He created and directed all the screens content for Cirque's latest Las Vegas production, Elvis, housed at the famed Citycenter complex.

Currently, Ivan directs the biggest newcomer to late night, Lopez Tonight, with George Lopez.

Ivan is represented by Evan Warner at the William Morris Agency.
