A Thousand and One

Come for Taylor’s breakout performance, stay for a tender, confidently told story of Black motherhood and sacrifice.

Tying it together is a phenomenal score by Gary Gunn.

Taylor has a remarkable ability to be present in a scene, responding as if she’s interacting in the moment, not reciting rehearsed lines or blocked movement.

...brims with authenticity and the electrifying emotional intensity of the best melodramas.

...A heartfelt snapshot of a life that reflects the experiences of so many real people, this is an impressive debut for Rockwell and Taylor – what comes next for both will be worth your attention.
