Liberia / USA

Gerald K. Barclay, professionally known as "Gee-Bee", is a director, producer, writer, cinematographer and editor. After fleeing the devastating civil war in his native Liberia, he settled in New York City and graduated with a Communications degree from City University of New York. He gained early filmmaking experience on Abel Ferrara’s King Of New York and Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever before enrolling in a mentorship under Emmy Award winning filmmaker Tony Lover at Liberty Studios. He went on to helm hundreds of music videos for artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, and The Gap Band. Barclay sought new challenges, and his first feature film, Bloody Streetz, won critical praise and a Vision Award at the 2002 Pan-African Film Festival. In 2001, Gee-Bee produced and directed a critically acclaimed feature length documentary, Liberia: The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here, a touching and powerfully emotional documentary on the tragic aftermath of the Liberian civil war. His other works include Wu: The Story of the Wu-Tang Clan, The Bully and Liberia Will Rise.
