	IGN: IGN Interviews Taylor Hackford
		That Hackford, not to mention Ray Charles himself, held fast to his creative and artistic convictions is a testament not only to his tenacity, but also to his unbridled dedication.
		Hackford, who is best known for helming the classic An Officer and a Gentleman, is no stranger to the world of music.
		Hackford, who is so passionate about this film that he personally screened it around the country prior to its national release and participated in post-screening Q&A's, recently spent a few days in San Francisco and allowed IGN's Spence D. to chat with him about the film.

		Native to the warm climate of Santa Barbara, Califonia, Hackford graduated from USC, with a major in international relations.
		During the '70s, Hackford spent most of his time at the Los Angeles public television station KCET, a place that became a kind of self-made "film school" for him.

		Hackford’s talent for developing great material is matched only by his knack for nurturing true acting talent and helping to make household names out of talents like Richard Gere, Debra Winger, and now Jamie Foxx.
		Content to leave the technical tricks of the trade to his contemporaries, Hackford instead chooses to focus on the quality of his storytelling—and collaborators—and hopes that audiences will join him for the ride.
		Hackford spoke with us from New Orleans (where much of the film was shot) the morning after his cast and crew screening of Ray, a film that was 15 years in the making.

	Taylor Hackford's Unchained Art (washingtonpost.com)
		After 15 years of researching, writing and wrangling enough money to finance his dream project, director Taylor Hackford knew that this was the moment -- an extremely tense moment in spring 2003 -- that could make or break "Ray," his $30 million biopic on the turbulent life and beautiful music of Ray Charles.
		By contrast, "Ray Charles was born in the segregated South, in the Depression, in all that poverty," says Hackford, who first met Charles in 1988 and remained friends with him until the musician's death from liver disease this June at 73.
		Hackford originally wrote a scene showing Charles taking up piano grudgingly; Charles, however, was adamant that the minute his younger self heard the instrument being played in a Georgia juke joint, he knew he wanted to do that for the rest of his life.

		Taylor Hackford catches this steeliness wonderfully in his film, Ray.
		I watched it in a cine-shed on a rainswept Manchester night at about the time when BAFTA were doling out Best Actor to Jamie Foxx, the film's star, 180-odd miles south in London's glittering West End (which cannot begin to match the frantic partying which is routine amongst Manchester's semi-naked good-time city centre crowd).

		After some back and forth, Hackford agreed to leave out any four-letter words and scenes of overt sexuality.
