Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Brown Sugar”

Who’s the director?

Rick Famuyiwa. You might not know his name but he’s the man behind some of our favorite films. Including the semi-autobiographical film The Wood, Our Family Wedding and Talk to Me. Famuyiwa, a Nigerian-American, graduated from the University of South California and double majored in Film and Television Production and Critical Studies. Growing up in Inglewood, Famuyiwa found it important to portray a more diverse side of a neighborhood that he felt had gotten a bad rap. Brown Sugar was Famuyiwa’s second film.
