This week I want to give it up to someone who I consider to be one of the most underrated directors in Hollywood. This brotha is truely on the fringe.
Carl Franklin is one of those directors that flies under Hollywood's radar. He really doesn't make what people consider "black movies" he just makes good movies. In 1992 he colaborated with a the then little known writer Billy Bob Thornton on a movie called One False Move. When the film was completed, the original plan was to release it straight to video. Stronger than expected word of mouth convinced the distributor to send it to theaters. It ended up being one of the best sleepers of that year and director Carl Franklin ended up winning an Independent Spirit Award.
But what most people don't know is that he started out his career on the A- Team as Capt. Crane.
