Joseph Kahn's filmmaking dreams died in 1991.
A year before, he'd been in Greenwich Village, attending NYU, hoping to be the next Spike Lee or Martin Scorsese—alums who'd made the big time.
But then money ran out, and Kahn was back home in Houston, picking up popcorn for a living in a theater that played films directed by others around his age, like John Singleton or the Hughes Brothers. Kahn wasn't white.
His parents weren't rich. He didn't live in L. A.
How was he ever going to make movies ? How was he going to catch a break? |
