After making his name as an in-demand music video director for acts including Outkast, Dr. Dre, TLC, and Ice Cube, New York City native Felix Gary Gray made the leap to feature filmmaking. Since then, the knack for action that was already evident in Gray’s earliest work has found expression in a host of lean, efficient genre films. We’ll be screening a selection of Gray’s crackling crime capers, including femme stick-up stunner Set It Off, his turbocharged remake of 1969’s The Italian Job, vigilante white-knuckler Law Abiding Citizen, record industry satire (and Elmore Leonard adaptation) Be Cool, and hip hop biopic Straight Outta Compton. Sit back, strap in, and prepare to get knocked the fuck out.
