JOHN SINGLETON IS FORUM KEYNOTE SPEAKER! ALSO, A HACKATHON.This just in: Academy Award® nominated director John Singleton will give the keynote address for the 2012 Film Independent Forum. At age 24, Singleton was the youngest individual and first ever African-American to be nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Director. Boyz N the Hood, John Singleton’s first feature film, landed him Oscar® nominations for Best Director and Original Screenplay. His other films as a writer/director/producer include: Poetic Justice, Higher Learning, Shaft and Baby Boy. He also directed Rosewood, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Four Brothers, and through his New Deal Productions, he produced the independent films Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan and Illegal Tender. “There’s no better way to start the Forum than with the advice of such a seminal filmmaker as John Singleton,” said Maria Bozzi, our Director of Education. “Since his breakthrough with the very personal and highly acclaimed Boyz N the Hood, Singleton has established a path that many filmmakers have strived to emulate — his advice will be sure to inspire those attending the Forum.” Are you ready to be inspired?
