The Mastermind
Behind a Classic
MADE BY KRIS CHRISTIAN
Exceptionally ahead of its time,
Spike Lee’s first joint, She’s
Gotta Have It, hit theaters in
August 1986, starring Nola
Darling - a new voice for
women rarely seen on the big
screen at the time.
This Thanksgiving Day 2017,
the modern evolution of Nola
Darling extends across 10
episodes on Netflix, sharing
Nola’s new-age outlook as an
artist, friend and partner.
Writer, Director, Actor, Producer, Author, and
Educator, Spike Lee is widely regarded as one of
the premier African-American filmmakers who
helped revolutionize modern Black Cinema and
the industry as a whole by offering up fresh talent
poised for his progressive roles. The mastermind
behind the series adaptation, She’s Gotta Have It,
offers a modern spin to a classic story that all can
relate to.
In an exclusive interview with MADE Magazine,
Spike shared his journey, personal influences and
his plans to continue to pay it forward in the
industry to rising Black talent.
