"CREATING CROSS"

Hilliard and guest co-hosts actor/filmmaker Johnny Ray Gill and actor/filmmaker Denzel Whitaker chop it up in a dope, 2-part episode with showrunner BEN WATKINS, writer-creator of the NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series for Amazon’s new hit series CROSS.


Ben talks about how he created and wrote the series CROSS on Amazon Prime and we go deep into the ins-and-outs of running a successful series, casting, writing, writers' rooms, production, the magical negro trope and so much more!


This is a don’t miss episode y’all!"
