PEOPLE, Page 81Doubly Exposed Nerve
By GINIA BELLAFANTE
Many starving filmmakers would vow to name their firstborn
Mike Ovitz just for a chance to sit down and sip some Evian
with a representative of the almighty Creative Artists Agency.
But reel twins ALBERT and ALLEN HUGHES, 20-year-olds from
Pomona, California, don't think much of Hollywood's greatest
dealmaking dynasty. At 19, the film-school dropouts decided
their CAA handler was "stifling" their career, so they dumped
her. "Our goal was to get a movie deal before we were 20," says
Allen. Not easy. But today the Hugheses, who've been making
films since the sagacious age of 12, have nearly finished their
first feature. Due this spring, Menace II Society is a story
about two inner-city boys who grow up without father figures.
New Line Cinema grabbed the idea shortly after the L.A. riots
and had the boys shoot the film on a meager $2.5 million budget.
Says Allen confidently: "Next time we'll have more money and
more tricks."
