We hangout with Shahadi Wright Joseph in Austin, TX at SXSW!! We discuss her role in "Us" directed by Jordan Peele! She says, Jordan is amazing to work with and a great director - he has a vision and creates it perfectly. She loved filming the breakfast scene with her co-stars, Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, and Evan Alex. Jordan told them to have a normal conversation, just like a family would be having, while filming the breakfast scene. This made it feel like a real family dynamic and that much more fun to film! We also discuss her role as 'Young Nala' in "The Lion King"!!
