For my latest interview with Blex Media, I sat down with Issa Rae and director Lawrence Lamont to discuss their upcoming buddy comedy, One of Them Days. Directed by Lamont and written by Syreeta Singleton, this fresh and dynamic film features an ensemble cast led by Keke Palmer and SZA. With a premise centered around two best friends racing against the clock to save their home and their friendship, One of Them Days promises a mix of high-energy antics and heartfelt moments.
In our conversation, we explored how this unique story came to life, Lamont’s transition from music videos to feature films, and Rae’s knack for collaborating with fresh and familiar talent. We also delved into the creative process behind bringing this long-awaited project to fruition, offering a glimpse into what audiences can expect from this spirited take on the buddy comedy genre.
