Ryan Coogler brings heart, talent to 'Fruitvale'

In this Wednesday, June 19, 2013 photo, Ryan Coogler, director of the film, "Fruitvale Station," poses for a portrait at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Coogler’s first dramatic feature, “Fruitvale Station," his first project since graduating with his master’s degree in 2011, won both jury and audience awards at the Sundance Film Festival, where the Weinstein Co. outbid a dozen studios to distribute it. It opens Friday, July 12, 2013, in New York and Los Angeles and around the nation later this month, and Oscar buzz has already begun. (Photo by John Shearer/Invision/AP) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ryan Coogler is back on the University of Southern California campus for the first time since becoming one of the country's most promising young filmmakers, and he heads straight to the camera-rental center where he worked as a student. He runs into a former classmate, who high-fives and congratulates him, then asks for a photo. Coogler sheepishly obliges.
