Television
Delia was among the first music video directors to succeed as an episodic television director. He delivered multiple one-camera, one-hour episodes for Paramount including Friday the 13th The Series and War of The Worlds. Delia also directed major network dramatic hours for ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX including groundbreaking series Crime Story produced by Michael Mann and the first American episode of Max Headroom.
Delia's experience and visual imagination have flourished in high pressure situations where staying on schedule and budget are a priority. Active at the keypad and behind the eyepiece, Delia continues to write and direct quality television and feature film.
