Film school was a privilege I could not afford.

I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.

Film is a mirror. I want to see more filmmakers. We all want to see ourselves.

I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.

I have to get three hours of school everyday. Then we film the scenes over and over. Between takes I like to play around with the other kids.

We're told that independent film lovers... folks that are used to watching art house films, won't come out and see a film with black people in it - I've been told that in rooms, big rooms, studio rooms, and I know that's not true.
