The Bahamas has a lot to say about the issues that affect it - the specific issues that also affect other communities. It offers a unique level of looking at, of entering a story. It's just like a mini-world.

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 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.

When I write, I actually hear the characters speak. Almost like an actor - even though I'm not an actor at all - getting into their truth and to justify what they do.

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

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