I actually did a film called Stompin' at the Savoy,about four women who worked as domestics and were trying to get out of that life and into a better one.
We could have done this movie very differently had we shot on the streets of Harlem and taken a 40-day shooting schedule.
I attended the event in Napa in July and it was amazing, so when we heard about this one, we had to sign up. I'm going to keep coming back.
The look of the movie has a kind a muted tone to it at first, and then we introduce color to it as we go along.
The first thing that goes into shooting a scene is understanding what's on the page.
