Spencer talks the general open-door attitude that was provided on-set between actors and filmmakers in regards to accurate representation of disability and race
"Her story was not surrounded by how she overcame her disability to become this person at the end of the story," the Spencer said of her character, Tracy, a social worker with ALS.
Ahead of accepting the Christopher Reeve Acting Scholarship during Thursday's Media Access Awards, Spencer spoke withabout her appreciation to this approach and the general open-door attitude that was provided on-set between actors and filmmakers in regards to accurate representation of disability and race. Our producer Alice Austin was adamant about making sure they cast the role of Tracy authentically.
Then, the whole story in general about all of these extremely different worlds having common things about each other that ends up bringing them all together. That was what I thought was really dope. There was no one character who was written any more heroic or angelic or flawless than anybody else that was on paper. Everyone was on an equal playing field and so much that it was a very realistic chemistry that everyone ended up having, even on-set.
With the backdrop of the film being Milwaukee, America's most segregated city, how do you feel the film handles race?
