💪🏿✊🏿 March 20, 1957 - Shelton Jackson "Spike" Lee is a Black American film director, producer, writer, and actor was born in Atlanta, GA, on this date in 1957.His production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, has produced over 35 films since 1983. Lee''''s movies have examined race relations, colorism in the black community, the role of media in contemporary life, urban crime and poverty, and other political issues. Lee has won numerous awards, including an Emmy Award. He has also received two Academy Award nominations. Lee enrolled in Morehouse College, a historically black college, where he made his first student film, Last Hustle in Brooklyn. He took film courses at Clark Atlanta University and graduated with a BA in Mass Communication from Morehouse.He did graduate work at New York University''''s Tisch School of the Arts, where he earned a Master of Fine Arts in Film & Television. Lee''''s thesis film, Joe''''s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads was the first student film to be showcased in Lincoln Center''''s New Directors New Films Festival. In 1985, Lee began work on his first feature film, She''''s Gotta Have It. With a budget of $175,000, he shot the film in two weeks.When the film was released in 1986, it grossed over $7,000,000 at the U.S. box office. Lee''''s 1989 film Do the Right Thing was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 1989.
Many people, including Hollywood''''s Kim Basinger believed that Do the Right Thing also deserved a Best Picture nomination. Driving Miss Daisy won Best Picture that year. Lee said in an April 7, 2006 interview with New York magazine that the other film''''s success, which he thought was based on safe stereotypes, hurt him more than if his film had not been nominated for an award.
After the 1990 release of Mo'''' Better Blues, Lee was accused of anti-Semitism by the Anti-Defamation League and several film critics. They criticized the characters of the club owners Josh and Moe Flatbush, described as "Shylocks".
Lee denied the charge, explaining that he wrote those characters in order to depict how black artists struggled against exploitation. Lee said that Lew Wasserman, Sidney Sheinberg or Tom Po***ck, the Jewish heads of MCA and Universal Studios were unlikely to allow anti-Semitic content in a film they produced.
He said he could not make an anti-Semitic film because Jews run Hollywood, and "that''''s a fact." His 1997 documentary 4 Little Girls, about the children killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963, was nominated for the Best Feature Documentary Academy Award.
On May 2, 2007, the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival honored Spike Lee with the San Francisco Film Society''''s Directing Award. He received the 2008 Wexner Prize. In 2013, he won The Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, one of the richest prizes in the American arts worth $300,000.
