“It’s a romantic comedy that I shot in Miami. This is a film that I shot in the community. We did the movie with the community to help stop the violence. I had 20 kids work with me and they also got to be in the movie. This was a community project and I shot in Overtown and the kids all got to be Executive Producers on the film.”
