Gabriel Napora states: "We made Spoken Word to speak to the complex issue of police shootings and tried to look at the issue from every angle. I think what we've been able to create is a film that is both powerful and deep. And working with director Ilan Srulovicz, and actors Lance Reddick, Troy Evans and Jason London was a real pleasure. When you are working with talented people like that you always come out looking great."
