Had to crack open my heart for this role, says 'The After' actor David Oyelowo
Expressing initial hesitation and fear about the role, Oyelowo describes feeling "very safe" under the direction of Misan Harriman, the film's director and co-writer. Harriman, recognized for his work as the first black male photographer to shoot Vogue's cover, provided a supportive environment for Oyelowo to explore his own grief and make the film cathartic.
