I fell in love with producing at Scandal, and the first film I produced was a film called Confirmation for HBO, where I played Anita Hill.
And then I fell in love with it.
And so they came to me to do this play on Broadway, the producers.
And I said, sure, I'll be in it if I can help produce.
But on Broadway, producing really just means finding money.
You get to be a creative producer as well.
But I was like, oh, I don't do the financing thing.
But I was like, okay, I'll jump in and I'll try.
And one of the ideas I had for how I could make the money to help produce the play was like, what if we film it?
What if we can sell it to a streamer?
Netflix, you know, Ted read it and loved it.
We kind of like built a fourth wall to complete the room because the play all takes place in one room.
And so we just completed the room and shot it on a stage in the one room.
It means so much coming from you.
