“[On BLESS THEIR LITTLE HEARTS] Some people have said, “But, oh, it’s not a black film. It’s a film about the working class.” Good — the working class is a universal class. It’s a bigger social identity than the particulars. That’s the kind of politics we hope that people can realize.”
Billy Woodberry

”BLESS THEIR LITTLE HEARTS was kind of written for me. Having worked for Charles Burnett in the past, one of my sayings was “Bless your heart.” Coming from a Jesus-led home, I would hear that said several times a day as a child growing up. Charles Burnett told me about a script he had written for Billy. I did not know just how much my old saying had stuck in Charles’s mind. He had named the film BLESS THEIR LITTLE HEARTS. For the most part, it was a film set that was full of love. This was my first time working with Billy Woodbury. The children I worked with were loving and always took direction perfectly. Over the years, my mind always went back to Angie (my “daughter”) because I figured that one day she might stay in front or behind the camera. It all came so easy for her.”
