It’s based on my own personal experiences. My grandmother lived on 10th and Burleigh in the middle of the block. We all attended the original Shiloh Baptist Church, which was right down the street from her home. Right after church – every Sunday – we would head to my grandmother’s house at 3147 N. 10th St. My Aunt Bessie made the sweet, iced tea. M...
My grandmother, Lorine Kincaid, loved having everyone around. She believed in good food, good conversation. Church and family. If you said you were coming over for Sunday dinner and you didn’t show, she would call and find out what was going on. My grandma was similar to Irma Hall, who played Mother Joe in the movie. My grandmother lost her husband...
After I finished the script I went out to LA and Tim Reid’s company read it and liked it but they didn't make an offer. Then a company called First Look read it and they offered me $3 million but they wanted me to take out all of my references to bacon. I was about to sign with them but then Babyface and his wife Tracey (Edmonds) said they could do...

I remember showing "Taxi Driver" to my father and he was quiet the whole movie an...
It was very successful. It ran from 2000 to 2005 on Showtime. I was the producer and executive producer. It had its own life and opened up the doors to a new audience who went back to revisit the movie. It starred Boris Kodjoe, Aaron Meeks, Nicole Parker, Malinda Williams, Rockmond Dunbar and Vanessa Estelle Williams. It also received five NAACP Im...
It’s hard for me to rank them because they are so different. I would say “Soul Food” is the movie that people know me the most for. I would rank them "Soul Food" first, followed by “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete,” and “Men of Honor,” and “The Hate U Give.” They all have a special place for me. I will say the George Foreman biopic challenge...
