Craig Brewer

Craig Brewer is a film director and screenwriter. His 2005 movie Hustle & Flow won the Audience Award at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and achieved commercial success. Brewer was mostly unknown before Hustle & Flow and his first film, The Poor & the Hungry (2002), was produced using a $20,000 inheritance. Hustle & Flow was financed by filmmaker John Singleton, who mortgaged his house to pay for the film. Brewer's next project, Black Snake Moan, begins filming in September 2005 and will star Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Timberlake. Like Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan will be filmed and set in Memphis, Tennessee.
