While African-American filmmakers have been a staple of the cinematic landscape since the pioneering work of Oscar Micheaux during the '20s, none have had the same cultural or artistic impact as Spike Lee.
As a writer, director, actor, producer, author, and entrepreneur, Lee has revolutionized the role of black talent in Hollywood, tearing away decades of stereotypes and marginalized portrayals to establish a new arena for African-American voices to be heard.
His movies -- a series of outspoken and provocative socio-political critiques informed by an unwavering commitment toward challenging cultural assumptions not only about race but also class and gender identity -- both solidified his own standing as one of contemporary cinema's most influential figures and furthered the careers of actors including Denzel Washington , Wesley Snipes , Samuel L.
Jackson, Angela Bassett , and Laurence Fishburne. His upcoming film Da 5 Bloods is set to win big this award season , but how much have Lee's films earned the director over the years? You may think Lee earned this large sum through his more than 35 films alone, but he is much more than just a director and writer. When it comes to raising money for some of his independent films and others made by his production company, Lee isn't shy about asking for it.
