Marsai Martin Did Something Surprising But Totally Warranted For Her Movie 'Little'

Marsai Martin gives Miles Brown a cute hug during the Black-ish screening and panel during 2019 PaleyFest New York at The Paley Center for Media on Sunday evening (October 13) in New York City.

The two black-ish stars joined their on screen family, including Marcus Scribner, Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Lawrence Fishburne for the event, where the cast opened up about their long-running ABC series.

Just recently, Marsai sat down for an interview about her recent film, Little, which she executive produced.

“They didn’t see the vision,” she said about firing her agents after telling them her idea for Little. “They didn’t see the bigger picture of everything. They just said, like, ‘Shoot, you have this show. Man, that’s it, you should just stick to that.’ And we’d say, how about we just create something or create something that is for us, by us. They were like, ‘I don’t know.’ I think that’s where it kind of went wayward from there.”

Marsai adds about being the youngest executive producer for a big theatrical film, “For it to be a young black girl from Texas to actually make it this far, that will definitely inspire people to keep moving forward. This isn’t the end, you know? This is actually just the beginning.”
