Faison said of his win,
“This film was made with such passion, commitment, and honesty, and gives the message that our society needs to hear right now. I’d like to thank Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary from Revelations Entertainment for jumping in and picking us up when we needed to be picked up. This small train went uphill and uphill thanks to you guys.”
