Biography

Jack Hill is an American filmmaker who became known for work in the exploitation genre, starting out alongside Francis Ford Coppola and Roger Corman and making many films for American International Pictures in the 1960s and 1970s. After studying at UCLA, where he worked as a cameraman, sound recorder and editor on student films, he directed Spider Baby (1967), a horror comedy that later found cult status, and Pit Stop (1969). He directed Pam Grier in The Big Doll House (1971), Coffy (1973) and Foxy Brown (1974), hits that helped make her a star of blaxploitation, and also made Switchblade Sisters (1975). He is credited with helping launch the careers of Grier, Sid Haig and Ellen Burstyn, and Quentin Tarantino called him the Howard Hawks of exploitation filmmaking.
