Spike Lee has established himself as one of Hollywood's most important and influential filmmakers in the past decade with critically-acclaimed films such as Malcolm X, Clockers and Do the Right Thing.
Spike Lee's distinguished career proves he is a leader both on and off the screen. In 1986, his debut film, the independently produced comedy, She's Gotta Have It, not only earned him a prestigious award but set him at the forefront of the Black New Wave in American Cinema.
School Daze, his second feature, was not only highly profitable but also helped launch the careers of several young black actors. Spike Lee's timely 1989, Do the Right Thing, garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film & Director awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Jungle Fever, Mo' Better Blues, Clockers and Crooklyn were also critically well received.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Lee returned to the South to attend Morehouse College. After graduation, he returned to Brooklyn to continue his education at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in Manhattan, where he received his Master of Fine Arts Degree in film production.
In addition to his achievements in feature films, Spike Lee has produced and directed numerous music videos for such diverse artists as Miles Davis, Chaka Khan, Tracy Chapman, Anita Baker, Public Enemy, Bruce Hornsby and Michael Jackson. He also has contributed his talents to over 50 television commercials, including the Nike Air Jordan campaign where he collaborated with basketball great Michael Jordan on seven commercials. His other commercials include Levi's Buttonfly 501, AT&T, ESPN, Snapple and Taco Bell.

This event became a defining moment in the civil rights movement. He also received an Emmy Award for his piece on Georgetown's John Thompson for HBO/Real Sports.
