'I hope that what I was fortunate to accomplish...provides more fuel for anyone who feels like they can’t see a project to fruition.'
Of all the film’s characters, Helen Wayne, played by Karen Kaia Livers , the matriarch of the Wayne family, is Phillip’s favorite because she is pushed to make critical choices after the men in her life — her son Daniel Wayne and Reverend Tillman — misbehave. “She’s the vessel to speak on the dangers of enacting a fundamentalist interpretation of religion,” Phillip says.
The film juxtaposes religious sermons with scenes of Daniel Wayne encouraging his son to drink milk spiked with liquor or Reverend Tillman drunkenly driving home after church. In so many ways, the film honors the beauty and pain that Christianity has imparted onto the Black community.
