Spike Lee is a writer-director, producer, author and educator who has helped revolutionize modern black cinema. Lee is a forerunner in the ‘Do It Yourself’ School of Independent Film. Spike's latest endeavor is the reinterpretation of the Korean psychological thriller Oldboy. Oldboy is slated for an October 2013 release.
Prior to this was the release of Bad 25, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s “Bad” album. Lee received a Peabody for the documentary If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise, which revisits the storm-ravaged Gulf Coast region as residents attempt to rebuild in their cities while also demanding assistance and accountability from their political leaders.
Other critical and box office successes have included such films as Inside Man, 25th Hour, The Original Kings of Comedy, Bamboozled and Summer of Sam. Lee’s films Girl 6, Get on the Bus, Do the Right Thing and Clockers display his ability to showcase a series of outspoken and provocative socio-political critiques that challenge cultural assumptions, not only about race, but also class and gender identity.
Lee began teaching a course about filmmaking and black film at Harvard in 1991 and since 2002, Lee has been Artistic Director and Professor of the Graduate Film Program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts where he received his Master of Fine Arts in film production. Spike Lee has combined his extensive creative experience into yet another venture: partnering with DDB Needham, he created Spike/DDB, a full-service advertising agency.
