A sports agent pitches a controversial business opportunity to a rookie basketball player during a lockout.

When asked where he got the idea to make the movie Holland had this to say,

It was about five years ago when Steven and I were working on The Knick together and I was looking for projects to do and I wasn’t getting that many scripts. I found myself getting frustrated about that. So, rather than get frustrated, I thought, what if we make something?

So I started to pitch him some ideas that I had and out of those conversations came this idea. Then I brought Tarell in. We go back to ’06, we did a bunch of plays together. This was way before Moonlight. We were both in grad school at the same time. He was at Yale and I was at NYU.

So we got introduced through a mutual friend. I did his first play in New York, pretty much all his plays. The first one was called Wig Out. Tarell wrote it, I was in it, Sterling K. Brown was in it, Brian Tyree Henry was in it. Rutina Wesley was in it. It was strong. We had a strong group.

We did it first at Sundance at the theater lab. That was like a three-week workshop process and then we brought it to New York for like six weeks.

I personally didn’t have a relationship any relationship with NBA. It was Steven’s idea to intercut the player interviews. So I’m curious to see what other players think about it, the NBA thinks.

I hope they don’t take it as an attack. Because it’s not meant to be. I think the NBA has done really great things for their players as say compared to the NFL.

We just use this as an opportunity to pose the question: What if there was more Black ownership? And that applies not just to the NBA but to the NFL, the NCAA, to corporate America. Just everything.

Question: With your film coming out on the same day as Taraji’s sports agent film, What Men Want, is this speaking to growing diversity in the choice of projects for Black producers and actors?

I hope so. It seems that there are more interesting projects being done, and places like Netflix have made that possible. It’s certainly an exciting time for me to be in this position because there are so many other things I want to do. My hope is that my production company can have an on-going relationship here at Netflix as we continue to produce more and more content.
