Black directors

I'm sure they exist. Maybe they're just not doing film. Maybe they're doing theater. Maybe they are foreign born. Maybe they just can't get Hollywood to pay them attention.

Antoine Fuqua is pretty big known Black director who dabbles in various genres. Whether The Replacement Killers or Shooter or Training Day or King Arthur or his upcoming Southpaw.

Everyone's different. I guess some are willing to do more commercial film than others.

*bump*

If you want to find out where the Black Directors are, you should take a look at Shadow and Act.

There are more Black Directors out there than just Spike Lee and Tyler Perry, and they are doing more than the usual gangster/hood movies and goofball comedies.
