1. Case Study- Director for an
Urban Drama
By Andrea Bisiriyu

2. Tyler Perry is seen as a very hard working man and this is
because he’s an American actor, director, screenwriter,
playwright, producer, author and a songwriter. He was born as
Emmitt Perry Jr. On the date of September 13th, 1969. The
way he started was from he writing and producing many stage
plays in 1990s and 2000s. In 2011 Forbes said he was the
highest paid man in entertainment, as he was earning 130
million dollars between May 2010 and 2011.

4. When Tyler Perry was a child he tried to commit suicide so he
could escape his father’s beatings, however his mother
took him to church each week, this is where he sensed a
certain refuge and contentment, from the age of 16, he
changed his legal name to Tyler so he could distance
himself from his father. I believe that this was the thing that
pushed and made him want to do more for himself as he
believed he needed to make it somehow after all the things
he had been throw in the past and the thing that made him
want to do much more is when he watch “Precious” and it
just pushed him a little bit more. The style he uses for him
to make people laugh, he believes it’s more or a comedy
and he shows the urban side to everything in every film he
does.
