Singer directed a cast that included Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Pollack, Benicio Del Toro and Chazz Palminteri. This success led to The Usual Suspects, a Neo-Noir tale scripted by McQuarrie that Singer shot for 35 days on a budget of $6 million. Although it never secured a domestic theatrical distributor, Public Access shared the Grand Jury Prize at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival.

Starring his boyhood pal Ethan Hawke and filmed for $16,000, Lion's Den led to the independently produced feature Public Access, which was scripted by Singer and his high school friend Christopher McQuarrie. After graduating from USC, Singer wrote and directed a short film called Lion's Den.

Singer befriended several people at USC who would later work on his films, including composer and editor John Ottman and co-producer Kenneth Kokin.
