As Co-Chair of The Caucus For Producers, Writers and Directors, I will be interviewing Frank Price and you can be there with us live.
On October 16th, at Emerson College on Sunset in Los Angeles, Frank will talk about the business of filmmaking and share some behind the scenes accounts of some of the iconic films he’s made. Boyz N The Hood was one of his groundbreakers.

Price gave the green light to produce the movie and for John Singleton to be the director. The movie went on to earn two Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. Singleton became the first African American to earn a Best Director nomination as well as the youngest.
Singleton and Price remained friends and colleagues ever since and Frank was helping Singleton with his upcoming movie on Emmett Till.
