Nov 07, 2020

Filmmaking was the way I could write characters and not have to give them up to anybody.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

I had originally written 'Pariah' as a feature, and we shot the first act as a short film, and then we used the short as a marketing tool to fundraise for the feature.

Our
|
Nov 07, 2020

Our country is pathologically violent.

Discriminating
|
Nov 07, 2020

We shouldn't be discriminating against each other. The whole 'light skin versus dark skin' is an idea we need to break down.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

For me, 'Pariah' is very much about that inner churn. It's about this person's emotional inner life, and that's really what I wanted to bring to 'Bessie.'

Driving
|
Nov 07, 2020

For each character, I try to understand what is driving them.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

Contemporarily, we struggle with people worried about representation sometimes. It's a burden, as artists, that we take on that limits the work. It limits the characters people play. It limits the roles they want to do.

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

We have to create a range, and we have to let there be possibilities. And basically, by showing there are different types of people, you write down the monolith. You stop having to represent for all black people when you allow there to be different types represented.

Failure

Nov 07, 2020

It's a failure of imagination if you can only write what you know - we have to be able to imagine different worlds.

Own

You can't be limited by your own experience.

Grandmothers

Nov 07, 2020

If I can go three grandmothers back and find a slave, that means someone else can go three grandmothers back and find a slave owner. When you interrogate your histories, it forces you to rethink who you are and where you are.

Nov 07, 2020

I think 'Mudbound' reveals the interconnectiveness of our stories. You can't separate out threads of history and race as economic construct. 'Mudbound' makes it very plain. Race is about commerce; it's not an actual thing. It's a fiction that was created to basically divide resources unequally.

Like

Nov 07, 2020

Growing up, I was very aware that there weren't many people like me on the screen.

Feeling
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not a writer that writes every day. I just kind of have ideas. I jot them down when I have them, and when I have enough, I just start. And for me, I start more around noon, and I'm all about feeling. Once there's a theme, I can't not write.

Nov 07, 2020

I wrote poetry and short stories. I would send them to magazines; they wouldn't get in. But short stories are how I found philosophy and how I'd understand the world.

Business School
|
Nov 07, 2020

Filmmaking in general is my second career. I thought that writing wasn't practical, so I went to business school and got an MBA, and I worked three years in grant management.
