"It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage."
Movies
"As far as pacing the shoot is concerned, I know when I've got it. I don't think there's any reason to take ten takes unless you need them."
Reason
"The riot isn't seen in the movie, but it is alluded to. He has this one speech that gives a great sense of texture and paints a picture of what was happening in Harlem then."
Riot
"The biggest challenge was that we had to shoot so quickly and with such a limited budget."
Challenge
"You have to examine a scene on the page first. Then you get into the basics of acting: Who are you? Who are you talking to? How do you feel about that person?"
First
"That's the only way I can control my movie. If you shoot everything, then everything is liable to end up in the movie. If you have a vision, you don't have to cover every scene."
Control
"I got my dailies every day, although I couldn't always look at them because I was usually preparing for the next day's shoot, both as an actress and as the director."
Day
"Michael Ralph brilliantly plays the street prophet, a West Indian who foreshadows the Harlem riot."
Riot
"Everything has to be well thought out - what do you really need, when can you do with less coverage."
Thought
"But out of limitations comes creativity."
