Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind the Making of “Juice” - Page 3
Who’s the director?
You might be surprised to learn that Juice director Ernest R. Dickerson was in his 40s when he made this film. Though he might have been a bit removed from the generation he was directing, Dickerson was no novice when it comes to film making. He had worked with Spike Lee since his directorial debut, “Joe’s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads” and for most of his major pictures, including She’s Gotta Have It, School Daze, Do the Right Thing, Mo Better Blues, Jungle Fever and Malcolm X.
