Isaiah
Washington and Alton talk just moments after Isaiah is suprised by his "Dancing
In September" co-star, Nicole Parker. According to Isaiah, "Reggie Rock Bythewood
is more than very talented... He's extraordinarily talented... What he writes
sticks with you after you leave the theater." Isaiah says that Bythewood,
the writer, producer, and director of Dancing In September, makes audiences
think with every project he creates. Bythewood and Isaiah first met during
"Get On The Bus," which served as Bythewood's feature film writing debut.

Comedian
Pierre has Alton in stitches as he comments about how hard it is for "light-skinned
brothers in show business." According to Pierre, "I'm not letting dark-skinned
brothers get back in until I'm really through with it this time... They ruled
the 90s, but in about two weeks light-skinned is officially back." Pierre

his inaugural project as a filmmaker called "For the Love of Money." Pierre
