Buoyed by positive reaction after a test screening in Harlem earlier this week, Lee Daniels seemed anxiously optimistic while chatting casually with indieWIRE prior to the screening.
After the showing, he was showered by well-wishers, some of whom posed for photos with Mo'Nique and Mariah Carey.
Daniels also cast Lenny Kravitz in a key role.
"If you are gonna tell a bold story, go all the way, be bold," Daniels said.
