A.V. Rockwell
Filmmaker A.V. Rockwell, producer Lena Waithe, and star Teyana Taylor sit down with IMDb at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival to discuss their inner-city, foster care drama, 'A Thousand and One.' Rockwell explains what she saw in Taylor's audition that convinced her that the singer could take on the challenging starring role of Inez, while Taylor reveals the scene that made her want to play the part. And Waithe traces her history with Rockwell and how she's grown as an artist.
