“It’s just like so many things went into why I wanted to do this,” Flynn said. “Kelly Rowland, big thing for me, I wanted to work with her. Marsai, as a producer the things that she’s was very impressive. I wanted to be a part of that, part of her story and her journey. Omari Hardwick, 20-year career in acting, I wanted to work opposite of him. Anton Cropper who I wasn’t privy of, now just thankful that I had the opportunity to work with him because he’s one of the best directors I’ve worked with, honestly.”
