Mustapha Khan

Mustapha Khan directed several inserts for Sesame Street; including the (partially-penned) song "Dancing Shoes," for which he won an Daytime Emmy in 1992. He also directed the 1993 special, Sesame Street's 25th Birthday: A Musical Celebration.

Khan began his film and television career in the late 1980's, starting as an assistant on the Spike Lee-directed School Daze.

He has since directed documentaries as well as commercials for such clients as Coca-Cola and HBO.
