\"It was a labor of pleasure,\" Maclin, who earned an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay thanks to a story by credit, said of the film. \"It was a task that I knew needed to be done. It had to be done.\"
\"We gotta shine a light on our people. We gotta represent ourselves in the best possible way that we can,\" Maclin continued. \"We gotta let the world know that I'm not 9687997, I'm not an animal, I'm not a monster. I'm actually a father, I'm actually a brother, I'm somebody's son … and I represent a lot of other people, not just me.\"
The 2025 Oscars will take place Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET and will air live on ABC and streaming live on Hulu.
