Craig Brewer’s Life
Often times a writer becomes inspired to write by his or her own life story. Brewer is the same. Some parts in the script and film are inspired by Brewer’s actual life. His wife was a stripper who got pregnant. He saw a black pimp with a white hooker with braids near a local hotel. And he would turn off the air conditioning to avoid blowing a fuse in order to edit. All are characters, themes or scenes that ultimately ended up being replicated in the film.
