If Cargo is a catalyst to spark policy, that would be great. The more we're able to use it as an educational tool, the more it's a building block in youths' minds and peoples' minds to enact policy.

The best part of writing is thinking about the story. And then everything else takes a lot of discipline.

The Bahamas is a small population. But it plays a lot bigger than the population suggests. You feel close to everything. Everything that happens in the wider world happens here. Like migration issues. Or refugee issues. Or homophobia.

I think I want the best for my country. I can make work that makes us examine some truths about ourselves - that would be more of a contribution. That's how I see it.

I know where the people are and I know how talented people are. Sometimes they aren't given opportunities because people come with their own biases about what Bahamians can do, especially if they're foreign productions.

I think that people always get what they deserve - whether you're around to see it or not.

I made Children of God because I had to make it. And with Cargo, I also felt like I had to. The impulse comes from something deep inside. Wanting to my country to be better. Because of where we are, we don't always have spaces to reflect.
