Early life and education

Career
After graduation, Ebiri worked as an assistant director for Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov on The Barber of Siberia.[citation needed]
He both wrote and directed New Guy, his debut feature.[1] Time Out called it "broadly predictable and increasingly one note, but passable sadistic fun."[2] In 2003 he wrote, directed, and co-produced the low-budget feature film New Guy.
