John Singleton
John Daniel Singleton (born January 6, 1968) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer best known for directing ''Boyz n the Hood'' in 1991. For the film, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, becoming the first African American and youngest person to have ever been nominated for the award. Singleton is a native of South Los Angeles and many of his early films, such as ''Poetic Justice'' (1993), ''Higher Learning'' (1995), and ''Baby Boy'' (2001), consider the implications of inner-city violence. Some of his other films include dramas such as ''Rosewood'' (1997) in addition to action films such as ''Shaft'' (2000), ''2 Fast 2 Furious'' (2003), and ''Four Brothers'' (2005).
==Early life==
Singleton was born in Los Angeles, the son of Sheila Ward-Johnson, a pharmaceutical company sales executive, and Danny Singleton, a real estate agent, mortgage broker, and financial planner. He attended Bassett High School (California), Pasadena City College and the USC School of Cinematic Arts. He graduated from USC in 1990, and is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.〔(USC Cinema – Alumni » Pickford Award ) 〕 Singleton was enrolled in the University of Southern California's Filmic Writing program under Margaret Mehring and her now-famous curriculum. The program was designed to take students directly into the Hollywood system as proficient writer/directors.
Unlike the other standard USC programs for screenwriting, film production, or the Peter Stark Motion Picture Producing and critical studies programs, Mehring designed her FILMIC writing program to teach a select group of students how to be authors of their visions. Other students included Helen Childress (writer of ''Reality Bites''), Stephen Chbosky (writer of TV’s ''Jericho''), and Ms. Childress’ husband Carlos Brooks (writer/director of ''Quid Pro Quo''). Singleton was always present in the Apple computer writing lab, working on his screenplays during late nights and early mornings. However, his ability to direct was correlated to an early beginning in music videos, which culminated in the EFX driven Michael Jackson “Remember the Time” MTV video.
