It Comes Down To This: Black People

As A People We Do Not Need Anyone Else's Stamp Of Approval.

Since The Days Of Slavery, If You Were A Good Singer Or Dancer, It Was Your Job To Perform For The Master After Dinner.

I Think Black People Have To Be In Control Of Their Own Image Because Film Is A Powerful Medium. We Can't Just Sit Back And Let Other People Define Our Existence.

If People Go To Imdb, They Will See That I'm Very Comfortable With Independent Cinema, And Doing Studio Films Too. For Me This Is Not An Either/or Situation.

I'll Be Vilified If I Shoot A Film In Toronto For New York. And Rightfully So!
