  • Independent film making is very collaborative. You feel like it's you, the director and other actors and you really feel like you have the final say.

Movies record human nature in a better way than any other art form, that's for sure.

  • I wanted to make sure the focus [in The Land] was on human beings themselves and their decisions, but still connected to the urban environment that people associate as being black. I think I was able to make a film without commenting on "black this or black that" and you still feel the presence of it. There's no one character who's saying "we're all black and we're all in this struggle." It's that you just feel it. Some of that is because we get the sense from a lot of independent films that black people struggle all the time.
