I have been here a few times, this is my fourth or fifth time.

Normally, as a producer I work in a very intimate, on the ground, making decisions all the time but in Hotel Rwanda that just operated in very different ways because there's so much money at stake and the politics of that particular filmmaking are very different.

The growth and rise of black talent is very slow, they aren't many and that's for different reasons also. Filmmaking is very hard so for young people to do that, not to earn a living, life is tough at home, they don't have families who can support them while they go to film schools, it's very difficult.
