What was your first impression of the script that you read stood out for you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WC: I thought it was great. I felt like this has been a long time coming. Someone has really poured their spirit out in these pages. Her writing is real.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We really didn\u2019t have to act, we just got to pick up what was there. Our task was beautiful from top to bottom. There was not one weak link in the cast, and the casting director did a great job of casting the project. And then at the same time, I get to meet a wonderful artist in Josiah Cross. I\u2019m so thankful to be a part of it, because I know this is a launching pad for a lot of us.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>JC: I feel like for us actors, we try to find ourselves in the work that we\u2019re doing.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>In the beginning as I was reading the script, like Will said, it didn\u2019t take a lot of work for me to see myself in this script, in this role. It was immediate, and with that immediate reaction, there was an urgency that swelled inside of me. Again, I feel like in this craft, having wonderful dance partners is the magic. Will Catlett [was] that dance partner for me where there were questions that I needn\u2019t have to ask, they were answered. There were things he was telling me but he wasn\u2019t saying the words. I am so grateful that A.V. saw something in me that she thought I could bring to light.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Will, there were a lot of households in Harlem in the Nineties where some of the kids grew up in a single-parent home or parents got into a drug business that kids were afraid of and some of the kids were staying out of trouble by living in a street or crashing on the friends apartment like the movie \u201cKids\u201ddirected by Larry Clark. How much does it resonate with you about the Nineties in this film?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>WC: Yeah, it definitely resonated with me because my oldest sister \u2014 she\u2019s not alive anymore, she\u2019s presently with the Lord \u2014 she was on drugs all her life. I watched it. I watched what the crack epidemic did to my family, so I can identify with that. I\u2019ve seen a lot of friends grow up in single-parent households. I\u2019ll never forget a buddy of mine named Bobby. We went to school together, he was smart, smart as a whip, and he was saying \u201cYou\u2019re so lucky man, you have your daddy for life.\u201d Because his dad was there but wasn\u2019t there, you know, because of the divorce between his dad and his mom.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I would hear those things growing up and I realized that [I didn\u2019t have to] play at lucky, that I was\u00a0lucky because I had someone to show me how to be a man. My mom said it all the time. She\u2019d say, \u201cListen, a woman\u2019s voice doesn\u2019t carry a man\u2019s guts.\u201d She\u2019s not saying that a woman doesn\u2019t have power to steer a kid in the right direction. But there\u2019s something about a man \u2014 when a man checks his manhood, we can hear it \u2014 [like] if I tell Josiah, \u201cBro, you don\u2019t need to be going down that road, you don\u2019t need to do that.\u201d Now if his mom said, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to be going down to that corner. You don\u2019t need to do it\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s not going to hit his DNA in a way that it needs to, because the man\u2019s voice is sticking it to another man.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So in this film, like the mom that lets Inez come move in, and they\u2019re having a scene without words, and she\u2019s like, \u201cYeah, my daughter\u2019s still in the street\u201d \u2014 I think a lot of healing will come from this film. There\u2019s people who will watch it, and their kids are still in the streets. So they can find some type of healing and have some type of understanding. Because love doesn\u2019t change, even though your kid is still in the streets.<\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Josiah, your character, Terry, is played by three actors: Aaron Kingsley Adetola, Aven Courtney, and you. What kind of conversation did you have with director A.V. Rockwell prior to shooting this film? How did she want you to portray your character?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>JC: We spoke a little bit. The unique A.V. did was that she isolated the Terrys individually, but everyone else in the film got to experience all three versions of Terry. So Teyana [Taylor, who plays Inez, Terry\u2019s mom] got to independently experience six-year-old Terry, thirteen-year-old Terry and then me. But each of us individually, we only got to experience being alone.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I think A.V. did that on purpose, in a way so that we could tell a very specific story that would then extend universally. It was a brilliant narrative device to me, because you have no biases in your performance. You have no crutches. \u201cA thirteen-year-old did this, I need to make sure that I\u2019m moving my neck like this\u201d [gestures].\u201d It was a natural commitment to the truth in the role that A.V. wrote that<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I think all three of us adhered to, because of the discipline and commitment that we had to the beauty of the story itself.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15984\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-1024x754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-1024x754.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-696x512.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-1068x786.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-571x420.jpg 571w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One1.jpg 1144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Teyana Taylor\u2019s performance throughout the film was a tour de force. Can you guys talk about an essential scene with her?<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Will, you had your character, Lucky, confront Teyana\u2019s character, Inez, and push her to get out of the apartment. Can you talk about shooting that sequence with her?<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>WC: First and foremost, Teyana\u2019s an artist. Though sometimes we lock people in these boxes, as just a rapper that\u2019s now acting or a singer that\u2019s acting. She\u2019s an artist, so she\u2019s going to be able to lock in what she needs to, and I think this role was destined for her, it\u2019s perfect for her. Only she can play it \u2014 she\u2019s from Harlem.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But in that scene, it\u2019s a sparring match. I\u2019m seeing what she\u2019s doing, and she\u2019s seeing what I\u2019m doing, and when she pushes me against that stove, she\u2019s really pushing me against that stove. I\u2019m glad that they kept the thing that fell off, because that wasn\u2019t planned to fall off the wall. And she\u2019s a joy to work with. She\u2019s so giving.The same way with Josiah. They\u2019re just giving.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I want to touch on something that you asked Josiah when he talked about A.V. separating Terry at six, Terry at thirteen, and Terry at 17. What\u2019s funny to me, and ironic, is that the moves that they make, any hand gestures, are all the same, even though they never met. I was like, wow! That\u2019s when you know that there\u2019s something<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>else taking over, and you\u2019re a part of something that is so special.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>JC: Yeah, I didn\u2019t even think about that until Will just said it. Because Will, I was watching the trailer back the other day, and there was this hidden move that baby Terry did, and they put it in the trailer that he looked over his shoulder. And they kind of mixed me\u00a0turning over my\u00a0shoulder, and it was like, the same, exact way he looked over his shoulder.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Josiah, can you talk about the sequence about the birth certificate, your character Terry confronting Inez at the end?<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>JC: Finding the birth certificate, confronting Inez, A.V. stressed the importance of it being a climactic moment of the engagement of this long journey that we\u2019ve been on and the importance of that. The stakes are high: this is it. This isn\u2019t just, \u201cOh, you found out that your mom used to work at the grocery store down the street.\u201d No, you just found out your mother is not your mother. But I\u2019m taking all of this information in.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like, a black-white American is also raised by a single mother, and the components that come with that. And then you add on top of it that, wait a minute: now it\u2019s being called into question whether she\u2019s my mother or not. I think that just naturally and holistically puts me in a place of [anxiety] as a person. Even me, feeling comfortable with articulating that in front of people on the set. I\u2019m comfortable in mine, with baring my soul [for the truth]<\/p>\n<p>It goes back to what Will said about being given to us as artists \u2014 to me, we\u2019re in the service industry.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re going to serve something that is beyond us. So I had no choice but to serve that moment in me being anxious, and me being scared, just as Terry was in those moments.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15985\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2-1024x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2-696x385.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2-1068x591.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2-758x420.jpg 758w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/A-Thousand-and-One2.jpg 1340w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Director A.V. Rockwell was really conscious about that reflection of Harlem in the Nineties and then the 2000s, with gentrification, stop-and-frisk policing and things like that. How did your acting choices reflect the Nineties in this film?<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>WC: Well, I think you need it. That\u2019s Harlem. That\u2019s America. You need those moments in the film so they can ground the actor, it can ground you into reality. You can see it when you walk in Harlem. You see the glass buildings, you see the mom-and-pops, you see the bodegas going out of business. You see the life \u2014 even watching Teyana, everywhere she would be shooting, the whole city would come out. So [as] you\u2019re shooting this, about thousands of people are just coming out to see her. And at the same time, you\u2019re seeing a new building go up, and that\u2019s not Harlem \u2014 but now it is\u00a0Harlem, where you\u2019re seeing people walk dogs \u2014 and only one walked dogs through that area [before].<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m really so fortunate we\u00a0are \u2014 that A.V. had it in mind to bring all of that together within the span of this film. Then people can see that and relate to that.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: This film won the top prize at the Sundance Film Festival. What was your reaction when you heard that?<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>JC: Will and I knew. We knew it.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>WC: I\u2019m laughing, because Josiah and I had this conversation waaaay before that announcement came out at Sundance. We just knew we were part of something special, and you know\u00a0when you have that special project. We knew that it was going to do great things, but to win the Grand Prize<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>at Sundance is a huge achievement. I\u2019m looking forward to it being recognized not just at Sundance, but at the Academy, and the SAG Awards, and the Golden Globes. The more people who see it, the more people can identify themselves, and find some type of refuge and healing and understanding.
