The second installment in “The Shooter Series” focuses on director F. Gary Gray. Using films clips and interviews, we follow his trajectory from a very poor childhood to eventual success as a filmmaker. Among those interviewed are Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, Ice Cube, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, Gerard Butler and Mark Wahlberg.
Gray discusses his impoverished upbringing in South Central, La. He talks about having cereal but no money to buy milk, so they’d fill the bowl with water. He’d wanted to be a director since he was very young but was told by everyone that it was impossible, which made him all the more determined. “I didn’t have the typical filmmaker background,” Gray says. “I didn’t grow up with a super eight camera or a video camera. I didn’t start cutting movies when I was four or five years old.”
