“Quotes from Colleagues”
“From the creative brainstorming sessions to the long hours on set, Yvonne made us all come together and made it fun at the same time. The camaraderie we shared on set transformed the project into more than just a job—it became a memorable journey filled with laughter, creativity, and a shared commitment to excellence. ”
“It takes a special calling to dive into the murky waters of race and class in America, and Yvonne accepted that challenge. Knowing that she had put her blood, sweat, and tears into every page of this story instilled the same sense of duty into cast and crew to show up and deliver 100% every day. We had a great atmosphere of family and camaraderie on set, the kind of shoot you hope for every time. ”
“Throughout the shoot, I was mesmerized by how powerful, charismatic, and delicate Yvonne has shown to be when working with actors and bringing her vision out in this film. I admire her in many ways having a clear vision, always treating crews/cast with trust and respect, and being a fun person to be around. I strongly believe that Yvonne Winfrey will be an award-winning Director.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Yvonne! I love how she got me where I needed to be mentally and emotionally seamlessly while allowing me to be comfortable and in control. I’m extremely grateful to be included in the magic of the project. She pulled off what seemed to be the impossible after every hindrance whether it be location, time, or people. I learned about my character; I fell in love with my character and their story. I read the script and immediately realized the passion, pain, strength, and courage it took to even consider writing this masterpiece. ”
“I enjoyed working with Yvonne because she knows the importance of all aspects of the film including sound. I enjoyed watching her work with the talent and really pull something special from each and every one. That, to me, is an amazing skill to have as a director.”
