“The way we started this process was very different,” Robinson shared. “We met, did Zooms, had workshops before it even got to the actors. I was able to put myself in a winning position to answer any questions and give some insight. I felt like, because I had lived with it for a while, it was able to breathe with me creatively as well as cinematically.”

“It never goes out of my mind because I keep hearing Wendy say this; ‘Sparkle, sparkle!’ Like that was the thing. They had even gotten T-shirts afterward because it was her word. She would always just shout it out. When it was time for action to be called, it was like, ‘Sparkle honey,’ and I just felt like it really was such an essential word and when she said it, it was time to sparkle.”
Cynthia Bailey also praised the casting of the film, noting how seamlessly the actors connected.

“Kudos to the casting process, because that was just the bonus that we actually vibed and just kind of connected with each other the way that we did,” Bailey said. “There were so many things, I would look at my script. Wendy would give her guidance and her points, and then I would go in, and then Apryl would say and do something in a way that would like, take me somewhere else!”
