Craig Brewer (Coming 2 America)

from MovieMaker Hosted by MovieMaker Magazine

Coming 2 America director Craig Brewer shot the last day of the joyful comedy on the John Singleton sound stage at Tyler Perry studios — 15 years after Singleton gave him his big break, and made him promise to always "hire some Black people." Brewer's other films include Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan, the new Footloose, and Dolemite Is My Name. We talk with him about '80s movies that might not be green lit today, dodging the potential pitfalls of sequels, and being in the service of African-American culture.

Anthony's Asylum Anthony R. W. Lopez I'm a moviemaker and owner of Cross Beyond, the movie production company that crosses beyond the ordinary (www.crossbeyondproductions.com), but I'm also an avid movie lover, gamer, and all around cool (depends on your definition of cool) guy who's interested in nerdy/techie stuff. That's where my podcast Anthony's Asylum comes in. With Anthony's Asylum I'll discuss topics I'm devoted to - everything from talking about movies and video games that I love to the news that intrigues me most in the movie, game, and tech industries. So join me on a ride through Anthony's Asylum - my plan is to deliver a new podcast weekly, and I know the thing about plans is that they're neither foolproof nor consistent, but I will try my hardest to publish the best content that I can, when I can, and weekly sounds about right to me.
