1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,990
ISSA RAE: You're 14 now,
and you've EP'd one movie?

2
00:00:01,990 --> 00:00:02,790
REGINA HALL: Yeah.

3
00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:04,290
You're not trying.

4
00:00:04,290 --> 00:00:05,670
And you got it to screen in May.

5
00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:06,840
Come on.

6
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,160
MARSAI MARTIN: Hey, look.

7
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,360
I'm trying, guys.

8
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,636
[MUSIC PLAYING]

9
00:00:12,636 --> 00:00:14,508


10
00:00:14,508 --> 00:00:15,700
(SINGING) [INAUDIBLE]

11
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:17,400
- Jordan, to everyone
else, you're a child.

12
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,900
So you have to start
acting like it.

13
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:19,830
- Get back to work!

14
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:20,997
MARSAI MARTIN: I
feel like I didn't

15
00:00:20,997 --> 00:00:23,340
even know, like, what producing
meant when I first saw it.

16
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:25,710
I think it kind of just came,
like, naturally in a way,

17
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:28,680
to where I get to create
things that I love to create.

18
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,360
And then I was like,
oh, snap, like, I

19
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,210
get to do this and get to work
with these type of people.

20
00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:35,190
With "Little," we
wanted to do something

21
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:39,490
where it was for everyone and
everyone could feel welcome.

22
00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:41,160
- You went to bed grown
and then you woke up--

23
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:42,320
- Little.

24
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,870
- But that's for white people.

25
00:00:43,870 --> 00:00:45,260
Because black people
don't have the time.

26
00:00:45,260 --> 00:00:46,060
- I know!

27
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:48,910
ISSA RAE: I loved the story
because I grew up on "Big."

28
00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:53,410
And then hearing that Marsai
was not only in it, but it was

29
00:00:53,410 --> 00:00:54,490
her idea-- it came from her--

30
00:00:54,490 --> 00:00:56,500
I was just like, oh, I
want to be a part of this.

31
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:57,700
This is history.

32
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,500
And I didn't know that
she was the first--

33
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:01,900
like, not just the
youngest black girl

34
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:05,970
EP, but that she is the
youngest EP in film history.

35
00:01:05,970 --> 00:01:07,650
Like, that is just magical.

36
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:08,550
REGINA HALL: I'm like Issa.

37
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:11,770
To see her do this at such
a young age, and you know,

38
00:01:11,770 --> 00:01:13,780
just have an idea,
and not just have it

39
00:01:13,780 --> 00:01:17,170
and sit on it, but you know, put
it together, vocalize it, pitch

40
00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:19,010
it, I was excited for that.

41
00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:21,250
- I got big, and I got rich.

42
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:22,480
So now who gonna check me, boo?

43
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,680
ISSA RAE: It really
makes me tear up

44
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,980
to think about everyone
who is going to just look

45
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:29,800
at her name in the history
books and see what is possible,

46
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,090
and especially
young black girls.

47
00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:33,920
And that's just
so powerful to me.

48
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,216
