# Quote 1 For me, anyone who finishes a film I take my hat off to. When an audience sees a finished film, it doesn't know the wars fought by the director to make his or her picture. 2 The best director is a good listener. He incorporates ideas from everyone he works with, steering with a steady but not rigidly controlling hand. 3 In cinema, we're ck people] the only ones whose language is considered realistic when it's demeaning. [from The 50 Most Influential Black Films by S. Torriano Berry with Venise T. Berry]
# Fact 1 He and filmmaker Haile Gerima were classmates at UCLA's Film School; Gerima acknowledges him as a friend and mentor. 2 Brother-in-law of filmmaker Joy Shannon
