You know what I mean?

So that's the beauty of cinema.

I like to call myself a hip hop director because in hip hop, I sample, sample, sample.

So in cinema, I can do the same thing, sample different elements to tell my story.

That's amazing.

Well, first of all, I had a great team.

It's executive produced by Quentin Tarantino.

I went and got legendary producer Paul Hall, who did movies like Higher Learning and Shaft and some Tyler Perrys.

And what I wanted to do was surround myself with people that could let me do my thing, but if I went on the guard rails, they could be like, hold on, bro, push a little to the left, push a little to the right.

So writing is one thing, and directing is another.

But most directors, when they get stuck on a scene or a script, they go, hold on, let me call the writer.

So I was like, okay, let me just talk to myself.

You know what I mean?

So hold on, let me figure this out.

Yeah, we could do it this way.

So that was the benefit.

And then one of the beauties of this, Josh, is that my wife is the producer.

And so my office is right here, her office is right there.

Her office is much nicer than my office.

Flowers and all that.
