The Grapevine High School class of 1971 can now claim an Oscar winner among its alumni.

Former Grapevine resident David Lancaster, who worked as a producer on the 2014 movie "Whiplash," won three Academy Awards—Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Achievement in Film Editing and Best Achievement in Sound Mixing.

The movie was also nominated for Best Motion Picture of the Year and Best Writing and Adapted Screenplay.

"Three wins for the little tiny movie who no one thought would make it that far," Lancaster said. "It's a pretty amazing run for a 'little' movie that only took $3.3 million to make."

Lancaster is currently shooting his 37th movie, "Message from the King." it is set to be released in 2016.

Lancaster also served as a producer for "Legion" in 2010, "Drive" in 2011 and "Nightcrawler" in 2014.
