On the latest episode of Reel Talk, Travis Hopson and I sit down with writer/director Gina Prince-Bythewood and actor Nate Parker from the film, Beyond the Lights.

Prince-Bythewood and Parker talk about the process of getting the story on film, her careful creative process and Parker’s ascension to leading man status.
