Teyana Taylor Interview: Embracing Fear While Making A Thousand and One
Ойын-сауық
It’s tough enough to deliver a stellar film when you've had loads of experience. Seeing someone kick off a directing career with an exceptional first feature always blows my mind, and that’s exactly what A.V. Rockwell does with her Sundance 2023 award-winning film, A Thousand and One.
Teyana Taylor delivers a powerhouse performance as Inez, a woman who makes the impulsive decision to kidnap six-year-old Terry (Aaron Kingsley Adetola) out of the foster care system. The film follows their evolving relationship as Inez does everything in her power to build a safe and stable home for him in New York City in the 90s and early 2000s.
While in Park City for the film’s big debut as part of Sundance’s US Dramatic Competition line-up, Rockwell, Taylor, and co-star Will Catlett visited the Collider Studio presented by Saratoga Spring Water to discuss their experience making the Grand Jury Prize-winning film. During our conversation, Taylor and Catlett sang Rockwell’s praises as a leader on set, Catlett recalled the time when he doubted his ability to bring his character to screen, Taylor talked about the benefit of having fear and nerves when tackling every single scene of the film, and so much more.
Hear all about it in this A Thousand and One interview!
