With his sinister new role in Is God Is, Sterling K. Brown was eager to work with writer/director Aleshea Harris on her feature debut.
The Oscar nominee, who plays the Monster in Harris’ thriller, explained that he was excited to work on the “incredibly creative” film from the Pulitzer-nominated playwright that lets Black women be “hella messy” on screen.
“So there’s the macro and the micro,” he told Rolling Out. “I love Black women, and I love seeing Black women win, right? I thought this was an incredibly creative script, something different and new, and I think that we, as a community, have been asking for creative and new stories, right? And I feel like the more diverse the landscape of stories are that we get to tell, the more people will stop putting us into a box in terms of what a Black movie is, what a Black story is. We are everything, and so the opportunity to do everything is something that excites me.”
