And, in a case of perfect timing, coming up right behind Zeba's review of The Invitable Defeat of Mister and Pete, is this video interview with director George Tillman Jr. and executive producer and composer Alicia Keys, which they did with The Hollywood Reporter, revealing some background on the making of the film.

Along with them is young actor Skylan Brooks, who plays the role of Mister in the film, recounting some experiences while working on the movie.
