What's most important to me is to have interesting characters and good stories. I don't just write about Black folks in my stories. I write about all types of people. I don't ever think anyone should limit themselves as an artist. We live in a diverse society, I feel movies should reflect that.
Most people like to laugh and love to be taken on a thrill ride.
I truly feel people love diversity on the screen. I don't understand the TV network executives that overlook the fact that some of the most successful shows on the air today are diverse. The hardest part about independent filmmaking is distribution. Companies like these are making it possible to get indie films to the public. Of course I think the Sundance Film Festival is extremely important at getting the big wigs to take notice of quality independent films.
