Colman Domingo Explains Why He Attended the SXSW Premiere of ‘Sing Sing’ the Same Weekend as the Oscars (EXCLUSIVE)


Oscar nominee Colman Domingo explains why he flew to Austin for the SXSW premiere of his new film 'Sing Sing' on the same weekend as the Academy Awards.

Other than Paul Raci (“Sound of Metal”), as the group’s civilian director, and theater actor Sean San Jose, as Divine G’s best friend and fellow inmate Mike Mike, the rest of the film’s core cast consists of former Sing Sing inmates and alumni of the RTA program, playing versions of themselves. Along with the uncommon make up of the cast, Kwedar, Bentley and fellow producer Monique Walton (“Bull”) took an equally exceptional approach to profit participation on the film: Everyone was paid the exact same day rate during production, and the entire cast and crew has equity in the film based on the amount of time they worked on it. I love watching them because I know never in their life did they ever think that this could happen for them, that the circumstances that they were in before could lead them to do this, to transform that pain, that hurt, that harm, whatever it was, for something beautiful and graceful.
