When Oscar winning screenwriter Kevin Willmott decided to make his next movie, he teamed up with star of the hit show Empire, Trai Byers, who joined not only as the lead, but also as a co-writer and co-producer. Together, they created a movie with themes as relevant today as they were 100 years ago, the new historical drama The 24th. We sat down with them, just as the film is being released, and talked about their experience and journey.
