Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Reggie Yates made this as a proof-of-concept after years of TV presenting, desperate to be taken seriously as a filmmaker. The urgency bleeds through every frame.
Tosin Cole and Cornell John never met during production—their performances as younger and older Den were stitched together entirely in editing, yet feel uncannily continuous.
