Last week, at the American Black Film Festival in Miami Beach, Boyega was trying to get in touch with his co star to wish him well. “I've been calling, I'm just gonna keep on calling. He better pick up. Come on Jamie!” he said. “I know he's dealing with what he's dealing with, and we just wish him all the best.”

“He's so generous as an actor and as a human, along with John. I got lucky to be able to work with such dope men on this project, and dope men of color, that it was just so much fun,” said Teyonah Parris, also starring in the film. “We would never work. We all just had fun laughing and partying.”
