John Singleton wrote the movie Boyz n the Hood as a requirement for his application to film school. When he graduated in 1990 he sold the script to Columbia Pictures. He drew inspiration from his own life and from the lives of people he knew when he wrote it so he insisted he direct the project. It premiered in July 1991, hit theaters 10 days later and grossed $57.5 million dollars. John Singleton became the youngest person and the first African American to be nominated for Best Director, and the movie had a crucial impact on the acting careers of these three.
