Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Jason’s Lyric”
Lisa Nicole Carson didn’t have a problem with director
While Jada was hesitant about how her image would be used in her sex scene, Lisa Nicole Carson, who also had a sex scene, though she got to keep her clothes on, felt very comfortable with McHenry and all of the directors she’s worked with thus far. She told BET:
I definitely have a very soft spot for those films that I did. I have to give all props to the directors – in “Eve’s Bayou,” Kasi Lemmons and in “Love Jones,” Ted Witcher – and even Carl Franklin (“Devil In A Blue Dress”) and Doug McHenry and George Jackson (“Jason’s Lyric”). I think they all had passion, they had talent, and I think everything just came together for them. They knew what they wanted, they knew how to cast, they knew how to write in certain circumstances and it was just a beautiful time for Black cinema.
