Fabulous interview! John Singleton is a fantastic filmmaker!

[@LegacyBridge]

Thanks for posting this. I filmed a discussion with him in Miami years ago and took his class on classic movies in LA. Very knowledgeable. One small thing here Austin Film Fest. He was nominated for two Oscars that year. Pretty sure he didn't win.
