In 'Waves,' Kelvin Harrison Jr. captures nuances of black boyhood.
Even though Harrison said it was"a challenge to humanize Tyler," he said he brought real-life elements from his own family and friendships to the role in an attempt to capture the character's nuances.
Part of humanizing Tyler involved being honest about the character's downfalls. But Harrison was also concerned about not feeding into stereotypes about young black men while doing so. According to Harrison,"Waves" presents a much needed opportunity to"slow down" and reflect on the impact we have on one another's lives.
Harrison said that while filming, he was inspired to check in with his own family about their relationships.
