Publisher Notes
A dynamic biography of the most important African-American filmmaker in Hollywood Spike Lee wanted to be a basketball player. But when he grew to only five foot six inches, he realized he would have to pursue other dreams. And he succeeded -- beyond his wildest expectations -- becoming the most important black filmmaker in Hollywood. Acclaimed author Jim Haskins paints an intriguing portrait of Spike Lee and his movies, from his middle-class boyhood in Brooklyn to his sassy and smart screen debut with She's Gotta Have It through the production of his most recent film, Get on the Bus.
Media Reviews
"...fascinating....Anyone interested in a career in film will learn a great deal from the book, but it is also invaluable in planting the seeds for enterprise of any kind: Politics, money struggles, deal-making, fund-raising, and public relations are just some of the issues for readers to ponder."
Synopses
Examines the life and works of the filmmaker who has chosen to explore the many dimensions of the black American experience.
