A career-spanning volume, Tyler Perry: Interviews collects sixteen
interviews, ranging from the early 2000s to 2018. Once a destitute
and struggling playwright, Tyler Perry (b. 1969) is now a
multimedia phenomenon and one of the most lucrative auteurs in
Hollywood. Known for his unwavering and audacious rhetorical style,
Perry has produced an impressive body of work by rejecting
Hollywood's procedures and following his personal template.
Featuring mostly African American actors and centering primarily on
women, Perry's films lace drama and comedy with Christianity.
Despite the skepticism of Hollywood executives who claimed that
church-going black people do not go to the movies, Perry achieved
critical success with the release of his first film, Diary of a Mad
Black Woman, which became the US's highest-grossing movie of 2005.
With his movies, Perry has discovered an untapped Audience for the
stories he has to offer-stories about adversity, faith, family, and
redemption. Critics, including African American filmmaker Spike
Lee, have censured Perry's work for being repetitive and
reinforcing negative stereotypes that have long plagued the African
American community. Supporters, however, praise Perry for creating
films that allow his Audience to see themselves onscreen.
Regardless of how his films are received, Perry's
accomplishments-establishing the Tyler Perry brand, building one of
the largest movie studios in the country, employing more African
Americans in front of and behind the camera than any other studio,
and creating cinematic content for Audiences other filmmakers have
ignored-undeniably establish him as one of the most powerful
multimedia moguls in the country.
