Writer-director Minhal Baig's third feature, 'We Grown Now,' pays close and eloquent attention to two boys growing up in Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing projects in the 1990s. Baig's goal: to ensure, visually, that 'these lives should never feel too small to be on a big screen.
No one’s story is a simple one, and writer-director Minhal Baig’s third feature “We Grown Now” takes care to depict her main characters — two boys growing up and then growing apart in Chicago’s Cabrini-Green public housing projects in 1992 — as alert, multilayered individuals with many tales inside them. Baig is like that, too.
Q: Can you run through your timeline for me? A: Graduated from Northside College Prep in 2008, then graduated from Yale in 2012. I majored in fine arts. And painting. I studied playwrighting, too, and thought that might be my career path. But I always saw theater as a ladder I didn’t know how to climb. I wanted to find a way to marry writing with visual storytelling and film felt like the right medium.
