The story follows Roger, who experiences writers' block linked to his romantic confusion with his ex, Casey, and another woman, Nicole. Holland resonates with Roger's emotional journey, aiming to explore artistic challenges amidst personal strife. Originally not intended for Black characters, the film underwent significant changes during its five-year production, impacted by financial challenges and pandemic delays. Despite hurdles, it premiered successfully at Sundance, showcasing the resilience and creativity of independent filmmaking.
"Independent filmmaking is difficult. There isn't enough money - although I feel like when there is a lot of money, there still isn't enough money."
"It was an opportunity to get into an emotional state that I feel familiar with and that I wanted to explore and understand better."
