Spike Lee Set For Career Award From American Society Of Cinematographers
The American Society of Cinematographers said today that Oscar-winning filmmaker Spike Lee will receive its Board of Governors Award at the ASC Awards in March.
The Brooklyn-raised Lee began his storied career in the 1980s as a writer-director of such films as She’s Gotta Have It, School Daze and Do the Right Thing, for which he earned a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination. Lee also appeared in many of his films and reprised his Mars Blackmon character from She’s Gotta Have It for a slew of popular Nike ads with Michael Jordan in the late 1980s and early ’90s. Lee joined the faculty at NYU’s Tisch School Graduate Film Program, where he was appointed artistic director in 2002 – a position which he still holds in addition to being a tenured professor.
