""André Holland, he just asked me to come be in a movie and be funny, and I said, 'Well, is it possible to do something a little different than what I've normally done?' He said, 'That's what I would rather you do.'""
""When you see the movie, just about every location you see in there are like, you know, my friend's restaurant or my friend's cafe or somebody's, you know - let me call my mom and ask, 'Can we shoot in the living room?' - and like, everybody said yes!""
""The only answer going forward, as we've come to find, is going to be community. It's literally going to be being there for each other, knowing each other intimately enough to step into each other's lives. This film is emblematic for that.""
Love, Brooklyn premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and follows three Brooklynites navigating love and loss in a rapidly changing New York. The cast includes André Holland, Roy Wood Jr., Nicole Beharie, DeWanda Wise, and Cassandra Freeman. The story centers on change, personal evolution, and the role of community in response to urban transformation. Cast members emphasize warmth amid upheaval and note that many locations were friends' businesses or homes, reflecting on- and off-screen community. Performances balance humor, vulnerability, and groundedness, and the film functions as both a modern romance and an affectionate ode to Brooklyn.
