THE PIANO LESSON premieres on november 22!

🎬✨ “Crawley’s family—bound by blood, divided by time, and brought together in a way you’ll never see on stage.”

What an incredible journey on the set of The Piano Lesson!

This project has been a dream come true, and it reminded me that there are no small roles—every contribution matters and shapes the story.

Huge thanks to Malcolm Washington for leading with such purpose and passion, and to the Washington family for their unwavering support. @malcolmdubb

Working alongside Danielle Deadwyler was an honor—her talent is unmatched. To Skylar Smith, who played my daughter, your warmth and authenticity brought every scene to life. @danielledeadwyler @itsmeskylar2013

To the amazing cast and hardworking crew, thank you for your dedication and energy. You made this experience unforgettable.

I can’t wait for the world to see what we’ve created. Stay tuned—it’s something special. 🖤

As we continue sharing the magic behind REAL TALK, our film family is reflecting on a simple but powerful question:

What was the most meaningful part of creating this work?

First up: @matrellsmith, our James.

“The most meaningful part of creating REAL TALK was honestly layered.

First, it was the bond we built on set — a true sense of brotherhood and sisterhood between the crew and the incredible cast. There was deep trust, care, and support that made the work feel safe, honest, and collaborative.

For me personally, carrying the emotional weight of James was transformative. I knew he was holding so much, and stepping into those spaces required me to go deeper than I ever had before. It stretched me — not only as an artist, but as a man.

But what truly confirmed everything was seeing the audience response. Watching people walk out of screenings with tears in their eyes. Knowing the story connected. Knowing it sparked something real.

That’s when I realized we did our job. If it helped even one person begin to heal, then it was bigger than us.

Grateful to have been part of it.”

Being part of this project was truly an honor. Working alongside such an incredible cast and crew is something I’ll always be grateful for. This isn’t just something you watch, it’s something you feel. So I definitely encourage everyone to experience it in person.

This film tells the story of a family navigating the impacts of incarceration while searching for freedom, love, and healing. In times like these, I hope this work brings understanding, compassion, and light to our communities. 🤍🙏

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single person who gave their all to this project. I’ll forever cherish the moments we shared on set and the love that went into this work.

This past weekend, I had the chance to be part of the hilarious comedy Trynna Be a Playa written and directed by @onyiokoli at Dixon Place Theater. The crowd was loving it—so many laughs all night! Stay tuned… a sequel might be on the way?
