Steven "Steve" Barron (born 4 May 1956) is an Irish-born British-based film director and producer, and music video director. He is best known for directing the films ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (1990), ''Coneheads'' (1993) and the innovative music videos for a-ha's "Take on Me" and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". ==Biography== Steve Barron was born in Dublin, Ireland, the younger child of Zelda (1929–2006) and Ron Barron, who met in London. His mother was a Manchester-born filmmaker. He has an older sister, Siobhan. He attended St Marylebone Grammar School. Barron made his music video directorial debut in 1979 and directed many of the 1980s' most memorable music videos, including "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits, and "Take on Me" by a-ha. Barron only made eight music videos in the early 80s and made his temporarily last music video in 1986 for David Bowie's "As the World Falls Down". In 1984, he directed the science fiction comedy ''Electric Dreams'', and then went on to direct several episodes of the television series ''The Storyteller'' before returning to film, directing the films ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' in 1990, ''The Adventures of Pinocchio'' in 1996, ''Rat'' in 2000 and ''Mike Bassett: England Manager'' in 2001. Barron directed several award winning miniseries, such as ''Merlin'' (1998), ''Arabian Nights'' (2000) and ''Dreamkeeper'' (2003) for Hallmark Entertainment. In July 2010 it was revealed that Barron would make a return to music videos, directing the final video of a-ha, "Butterfly, Butterfly". In late 2011, Barron's two-part production of ''Treasure Island'' was shown on British Sky television. The cast included Eddie Izzard as Long John Silver and Elijah Wood as Ben Gunn.〔Rose, Steve, ("Elijah Wood: 'I was thrilled to play Frodo Baggins in The Hobbit'" ), ''The Guardian'', 22 December 2011; retrieved 25 December 2011.〕 In November 2014, he published his autobiography entitled ''Egg n Chips & Billie Jean: A Trip Through the Eighties''. 〔Hawksley, R.
