1996's The Cable Guy directed by Ben Stiller is a dark comedy that probably debuted a nit too late or early, not sure. Jim Carrey was a big star, I feel like you will either like this film or hate it. With that being said, great direction by Ben stiller. Comedy is hard. A few gems for filmmakers in this episode.

Ed Wood is a movie from 1994 shot in a classic style and is a homage to old Hollywood in a way. It's a unique story about a filmmaker you probably never heard of. We always hear about the success stories but rarely do you get a glimpse into the lives of people who don't quote on quote "make it".

In 1997 Love Jones hit the scene and changed the images if black folks on TV. Instead of gangsters, villains, or downtrodden people on the screen, people got a chance to see how black folks fall in love just like everyone else. Theodore pours his soul into the script and it shows on the screen. In this criterion collection of Love Jones, we highly recommend for filmmakers to grab.  Filmmaker Commentary is hosted by Reginald Titus Jr Co-Hosted by Casey G.
