BYUtv director honored at VMAs for Imagine Dragons video

A BYUtv veteran and his brother-in-law — both former UVU students — were winners at MTV's Video Music Awards on Monday. Matt Eastin and Aaron Hymes co-directed and edited Imagine Dragons “Whatever It Takes” video, which won in the best rock video category.

If you tuned in, no, you didn't miss an appearance by Hymes and Eastin (who directed more than 40 episodes of the BYUtv's comedy series “Studio C” and co-created and directed the BYUtv music series “Audio Files”). For one thing, directors generally don't accept VMAs; for another, this category was not presented during the telecast.
