Ryan Coogler on Film School: "What You Don't Know, You're Afraid Of" | Close Up 

There's an authenticity to him that i admire

He must be protected at all costs. Haha You can tell he really loves the craft

Ryan Coogler has a brilliant mind. Black Panther may be the biggest film he ever makes money wise, but I don't think he's even touched the surface for what his films can do meaning wise yet. I think he has the power to change many lives through his films. 👊

I truly believe he's going to do great things in this industry. Please stay humble and hungry young man!

I could listen to Coogler talk for hours 😊

Been a fan of this dude since Fruitvale Station. He made it to the big leagues of studio filmmaking and not a hint of ego. Still appreciative and humble, you'd think he was making his first feature.

Ryan is such an inspiration! Love that he doesn’t change how he talks for NOBODY!

I’ll shake this mans hand one day. Look him in the eye. And say thank you.

Ryan Coogler! Man...this guy is reppin the bay and one of the best directors in the world. Anything he does I'm watching

"What You DOn't Know, You're Afraid of"

This guy is such an incredible talent. Looking forward to his next film.

Seeing two of my favorite directors on the same panel ... Spike Lee and Ryan. Crazy

This man is dripping with all kinds of swagger

It’s cool to see a real one jump into the film world and be successful. Don’t change Coog 🙏🏿💯

USC is not really a school that teaches fantastic technique. It’s best for its networking. I used to work on student projects at USC and I feel like there was always a disconnect with the actual training. In some cases it was unprofessional. But USC is really a country club. Going there helps tremendously with hookups. I’m glad he basically, in much nicer ways, said what I’ve always felt.

Coogler is true inspiration.. you can see and feel the Love he has for his craft. I hope he stays in the right lane. Their is not one movie of his I hate; All great projects. Keep it up Mr. Coogler us film heads need you. Lol

I love Ryan Coogler! His work is very inspiring and I love watching his interviews. His voice is both needed and appreciated. Thank you!

I love all three of Ryan's movies, even though FRUITVILLE STATION is hard to rewatch because of its subject matter. Ryan Coogler's star is only going continue to rise because of the success of BLACK PANTHER and if I know Disney they will/or should sign him up for big multi movie deal soon before one of the other studios grab him. He's one the hottest new directors in Hollywood right now.

"Till I had to tackle Marshawn." LOL!!!!!

Love this man, if he’s not already, I have full confidence he will one day be considered one of the true greats.

I see Ryan Coogler, I click.

Dude is just so humble. I will buy a ticket for any movie he makes.

hands down the greatest filmmaker of this generation. all three of his films are masterpieces

Wow. This is gonna be good! Such a beautiful, humble spirit. Love him and hearing him talk. He seems so cool and down to Earth. He reminds me of a family member, friend or someone I would see around and have good convo with. Much success to him

I love every director there, but what he was able to do with black panther is beyond everything else on that table, which was to manage to make the regular comicbook movie into a incredible film that anybody can enjoy, whether you like heroes or not

Love his workk/craft & all buttt Woow he is handsome😍

I really love hearing this guy talk about film. I'm so excited that we potentially have 50 years of him flexing that on screen.

Love Ryan, his film black panther will always be the best and on top of the list of my favourite.

I have seen all of Ryan Coogler’s. His body of work is in impeccable for a young Director.

Ryan Coogler gets soooo much love and respect from the actors who work with him. The fans appreciate and love his work. But when you hear him speak, you understand his dedication to his craft but even more powerful than that is his humility. Thank you Mr. Coogler for the amazing images you keep giving us.

He is inspiration to all black kids around the world ❤ thank you 🙏🏽

The man is pure talent.

O A K L A N D ✊🏽

i love his voice

Ryan Coogler is a great director. i feel has a lot more direct and i cant wait

Intelligent man

You know what I mean

I will work with this man one day!!

An incredible director.👏

Finally. Thank you. Now please release the whole video.

Great video! Thank you for sharing this!

Man,I love him.

Ryan and Spike being in the same room is dope

I want to see this whole thing!

Ryan Coogler is a young, black LEGENDARY & ICONIC filmmaker all the way from the Bay area with an extraordinary mind of creativity. Thank you, Ryan, for your offering to the world of film and our culture. As an aspiring film director myself, I hope to meet you someday in the near future...DIRECTOR LOOSE SKREWZ 4 LIFE

I love the way he doesn't code switch for anybody.

Something about him is very attractive.

Between you and Coach Carter, Richmond's showing up! ✌ from the Annex and David Marks Tower, SCA.

"all the way butt naked" lmao

when will the full roundtable be up?

That was nice.

Link to the full discussion please!!!

When are they going to post the full length video?

*Inserts “THATS MY BABY” meme*

He’s real people.

Cant wait for the full episode. I feel like Bradley would like to work with Ryan in the future. And he did an amazing job on "A Star Is Born" ... essentially Wakanda... is Limitless, on steroids.

Dopest dude in Hollywood!

Why don't you have the option to watch the full version of this roundtable? Although the 5 min. format might be more successful, there is a lot of off-topic or anecdotic commentary in the full thing. Hopefully it will be available later.

when is the whole thing released?

Marielle and Coog rep THAT BAY AREA SOIL! Can't have nothin' but respect for everyone at that table.

If you don't know, now you know

never clicked so fast

Where is his accent from ? It is really strong, I’m struggling a bit but he’s a brilliant mind and director. Wakanda Forever !

where is the hour long version of this?

Here's my thing, I feel that one of the U.S.'s biggest exports is 'image' and how's it's expressed throughout the planet. Now with that being said and dealing with the trolls saying this and that, regardless of what people may say about Spike Lee's 'Malcolm X', I'm not saying a film should win but it at least should've been nominated. And that brings me to the Ryan Coogler snub. The fact that he wasn't at least nominated or Chadwick Boseman or Michael B. Jordan or the film for that matter didn't get a nod shows me that the strides we've made are all well and good, but we STILL have a long way to go.

He is the real MVP

I was not expecting that intense close-up of Bradley Cooper.

where 's the full video??

Hello Hollywood Reporter, Mr. Golfwang969 here. How y’all doin? Fine?Good good I’m glad to hear that. Yeah I just came here to ask you guys if YOU CAN RELEASE THE WHOLE DAMN VIDEO??? LIKE COME ON, WHAT IS WITH THE TEASING?? It’s been WEEKS. We might be coming into 2 months here. Please, for the sake of my mental health and well being, just upload the whole damn interview. I can’t take much more of this. What will be the point in watching it after you just release these damn 5 minute clips. Wouldn’t it make sense to upload em individually after putting out the whole thing? I would love it if you did that. Same goes for the actors/actresses round table. Anyway, that’s all I had to say. Needed to let out the frustration right quick. Y’all take care lol

the music in these videos is too loud my dudes

1:29

boots riley should be there

If you haven't watched a prophet yet go watch it ASAP

I really hope he doesn’t become a just marvel director. I want to see other stories he could tell!

Why is Spike Lee slumped over like that?

God he's SO HOT (unusual for a director). I just find everything about him irresistible. 😍

Can y’all fix the title of this video .

Affirmative Action at its best.

Im laughing cause he said shut up idk before i feed you to my something laughs just kidding we are vegetarians😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love the fact he not a white actin black person he a real nigga !!!!!

You know what he's saying?

WE AS BLACK MEN WE DONT NEED ANYBODY TO BE GREAT!!WE DONT NEED BLACK WOMEN ARE WHITE PEOPLE WE ONLY NEED GOD!! A WHITE MAN COULD NEVER PRODUCE A MOVIE LIKE BLACK PANTHER BECAUSE BLACK MEN AND WHITE MEN SEE THINGS TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!NOBODY CALLED THEMSELVES BLACK PANTHER BUT AMERICAN BLACK MEN IT JUST GOT TURNED INTO A COMIC!!ALL THE WRITERS AND ARTIST AND MAKERS OF THIS MOVIE AND THE LEADING STARS WHO MADE IT A BLOCK BUSTER ARE AMERICAN BLACK MEN!!

Coogler is one of those guys who has a brilliant mind and communicate so well with his art but is terrible in conversations, you see he wants to say something profound but he keeps reaching for words, I can tell cause I'm exactly the same.

Black Lives Matter!!! Is there any subtitles? I can't understand what he is saying.

I can't understand what he's saying. He talks funny.

Black panther is such a shit movie

He sounds like a child.

Ryan Coogler’s way of speaking authentically is very enjoyable to listen to.

Where is his accent from ? It is really strong, I’m struggling a bit but he’s a brilliant mind and director. Wakanda Forever !
