Writer and director Adamma Ebo said the movie
was inspired by her own experience living and growing up in the
Southern Baptist megachurch culture.
"Loving a lot of aspects of it, having extreme critiques of many
aspects of it as well, and, and wanting to encourage other folks
to ask more questions about these institutions that are so
formidable and so important in people's lives," she said. "It's
something that has been really great and can do a lot better.”
The film, executive produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw
Productions and produced by Daniel Kaluuya through his
production company 59%, will be released in theaters and
Paramount Plus on Sept. 2.
