I Want To Tell Stories, I Don't

I Decided To Be A Filmmaker Between My Sophomore And Junior Years At Morehouse. Before I Left For The Summer Of 1977, My Advisor Told Me I Really Had To Declare A Major When I Came Back, Because I'd Used All My Electives In My First Two Years. I Went Back To New York And I Couldn't Find A Job. There Were None To Be Had. And That Previous Christmas Someone Gave Me A Super-8 Camera, So I Just Started To Shoot Stuff.

'she's Gotta Have It' Was Shot In Twelve Days And Two Six-day Weeks.

I'm Very Careful About How I Portray Violence In My Films. I Do Believe That Violence, Especially Violent Video Games, Are Not A Good Thing For Young Kids.

I'm Surprised That Hollywood And Networks Have Not Been Diverse As Other Industries.

It Is Really Important That Young People Find Something That They Want To Do And Pursue It With Passion. I'm Very Passionate About Filmmaking. It's What I Love To Do.
