This title presents an insightful collection of interviews with the internationally acclaimed director of "Boyz N the Hood". In 1991, John Singleton rocketed from obscurity to the top ranks of Hollywood with the release of his debut film, "Boyz N the Hood".The poignant coming-of-age story, set on the streets of south central Los Angeles - where Singleton grew up amid gang violence and an emerging hip-hop scene - earned him Oscar nominations for best original screenplay and best director. Only twenty-three at the time, he was hailed as a cinematic wunderkind, and compared to a young Orson Welles."John Singleton: Interviews" spans his transformation from film school sensation to seasoned director and producer, and includes lengthy interviews, in-depth profiles, and up-close glimpses of the renowned director on set.
