Kelly McNeely: ka mua Nā Tale Mai Ka Hood i 1995 ua mākaʻikaʻi loa i kāna ʻāpana me ka hana hoʻomāinoino a nā mākaʻi lāhui. A ʻo kēia komo kikoʻī - Nā Tales Mai Ka Hood 3 - kamaʻilio i ka mahele moʻomeheu o kēia manawa ma waena o ʻAmelika. He mea ʻike kaiapili ka makaʻu mau ma muli o kāna mākaʻikaʻi o nā makaʻu kaiaulu, manaʻo wau. Manaʻo ʻoe e lawe mākou i ka ʻōlelo aʻo a aʻo mai ia? Hiki i ka weliweli ke hoʻolilo i ka honua i wahi maikaʻi?

ʻO Tony Todd:  Manaʻo wau ʻo ia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni maikaʻi e hoʻolilo ai i ka honua i wahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. He poʻokela poʻokela au o kekahi mau mea weliweli, a ʻo wau nō ke poʻo nui o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni pololei. Aloha au i ka haʻi moʻolelo. A manaʻo wau he aha Nā Tale Mai Ka Hood 3 ʻo ia nō - ʻo lākou āpau maoli nō - ke haʻi nei i nā ʻāpana ʻekolu a ʻehā paha e like me nā ʻāpana o ke ola i ʻAmelika, e like me ka ʻike a nā mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. A ʻo nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hoʻoweliweli he mau moʻolelo akahele mau nō ia, no laila he ala maikaʻi ia e nānā ai nā poʻe a ʻōlelo "maikaʻi, ʻaʻole wau makemake e hana i kēlā kuhihewa".

Kelly McNeely: I kēia manawa, ua komo ʻoe i loko o kekahi mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i lilo i kiʻi, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Candyman a me kāna hōʻike o kahi kaiāulu i hōʻike pinepine ʻole ʻia i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. I kēia manawa me Pākuʻi Mai i ka Hood 3 - ka mea nona ka leo ikaika e like me ka franchise anthology, pehea ia e lilo ai i ʻāpana nui o ka mōʻaukala ʻano?

ʻO Tony Todd: Hoʻohaʻahaʻa wau. ʻIke ʻoe, i koʻu wā ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe, a e huki ana wau i ka lauoho o nā kaikamahine, a kau ana i nā kaula i nā noho kumu, ʻaʻole wau i moeʻuhane e kū wau ma ka pakuhi nui. Akā ua maopopo iaʻu makemake wau e hana, he kanaka keaka wau. No laila ma laila wau i hoʻomaka mua ai, ʻo ia ka mea aʻu e hoʻi mau ai. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻoe i ka hype, a laila ua hala ka hype, a no laila ua aʻo mau wau i ka paʻa o koʻu mau wāwae a ke nānā nei i mua kaʻu mau makemake. Inā he manaʻo kēlā. Mahalo wau iā ʻoe e haʻi mai iaʻu he ikona wau, akā ʻaʻole wau e hele a puni i ka pā ʻana i koʻu umauma e ʻōlelo ana "He ikona wau", a laila e lilo ana ka ʻumeʻaka [ʻakaʻaka].

Kelly McNeely: Aia kekahi hana a i ʻole keaka a i ʻole keaka - e like me kaʻu e maopopo ai ua hana nui ʻoe i ka hale keaka - i hoʻoikaika maoli iā ʻoe e lilo i mea hana keaka?

ʻO Tony Todd: He mea aloha nui wau na Billy Wilder, ua kākau ʻo ia i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni nui loa. Hoʻomaopopo wau i ka ʻike ʻana Pahuʻula Boulevard me William Holden lāua ʻo Gloria Swanson i koʻu wā e like me 12, a ke hele nei i ka leʻaleʻa ma luna o ka moʻolelo, ka hana ʻana, nā ʻano hana stylistic. I ka wā aʻu i hele ai i ke kula hana, ua aloha nui ʻia mākou a pau e ka mea a Robert De Niro e hana nei Kākele ka'a a ʻO Raging Bull, ʻike ʻoe, ʻoki ʻana i nā mea. Hoʻololi ʻo ia i ka nānā, a nānā ʻoe i ka honua i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa ma o ka kuanaʻike kāmela, a ʻimi ʻoe i kahi maka maikaʻi. Inā paha he mea weliweli, mea pīhoihoi, hana keaka psychological, pololei i ke keaka, hana hoʻomākeʻaka, he mea aloha wau na Richard Prior. A ʻo ia ke kaʻahele iā ia iho. He mea maikaʻi ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea ʻala maikaʻi, akā maikaʻi nā mea a ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole e pili ana i kēlā luawai. 

Kelly McNeely: Maopopo iaʻu ka backstory āu i hana ai no ka Candyman i hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻomaopopo i ka hopena, ua hiki anei iā ʻoe ke hana i kahi kaʻina hana i ka kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hou? No ka hoihoi wale nō, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu inā hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio e pili ana ia.

ʻO Tony Todd: ʻO kaʻu kaʻina hana like ka mea i kuʻi ʻia i ka mea i hoʻokumu ʻia. Aia i nā lima nui, ua kākau ʻo Jordan [Peele] iā ia a hāʻawi iā Nia [DaCosta] a he mea kupaianaha ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi kuana wahine e hōʻike ana i ka moʻolelo. A hoʻi mākou i Cabrini-Green - ʻaʻole i koe - no laila he manaʻo kupaianaha kēlā. Makemake wau e hiki ke kiʻi i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i ka manawa a mākou i ʻōlelo hope loa ai, ʻOkakopa 16th, akā nā mana e makemake ʻia ka hapanui o ka poʻe i nā noho ke hana ia, no ka mea manaʻo wau he hanana ia. Ke kakali nei kēlā me kēia, ke kali nei nā mea āpau no ke kali ʻana o kēlā me kēia mea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. I loko o kekahi o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli he 5 i manaʻo nui ʻia, he hoʻomaikaʻi ia.

Kelly McNeely: ʻAe ka palapala anthology Nā Tale mai ka Hood e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia like ʻole o ke ola maoli e like me ka hoʻokae a me ka gentrification. ʻIke wau he mea kākau makemake ʻoe. Makemake ʻoe e kāomi i ka mana anthology?

ʻO Tony Todd: He mea kākau wau, akā ʻoi aku wau i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi moʻolelo piha me kahi hoʻomaka, waena, a me kahi hopena. ʻAʻole ia he mea nui ʻole kēia - manaʻo wau ua ulu wau me E hiamoe ana? Aie? ʻo ia kahi hana keaka hapalua hola i kēlā me kēia pule, ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike inā e hele ana ʻoe ma ka honua, a i kahi kaʻaahi, a i kahi mokulele, ʻike ʻoe, he pupule. No laila mahalo wau i ka palapala, akā ʻoi aku wau i ka huakaʻi o kahi lā lōʻihi i ka pō ke hiki mai i ka kākau ʻana, kākau wau i ka nui loa [ʻakaʻaka] a laila hoʻoponopono wau i lalo i ka manawa.

Kelly McNeely: Ke hana nei i kēia mau junkets kaomi, nīnau pinepine ʻoe i nā nīnau like i ka lā holoʻokoʻa. No laila he aha kāu kumuhana punahele e kūkākūkā ai? A i ʻole he mea āu e hoihoi nui ai e pili ana i kahi āu e makemake ai e kamaʻilio a kūkā paha?

ʻO Tony Todd: ʻĀ, hale kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Ua hoʻopakele iaʻu i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ʻo wau kekahi kumu a kōkua i ka hoʻopakele ʻana i nā haumāna ʻōpio i alakaʻi ʻole a loaʻa hoʻi ko lākou kuko. ʻO kekahi o nā ʻike maikaʻi loa o koʻu ola e hana pū ana me ka hopena, ʻo August Wilson nui loa, ua hoʻomaka wau i ka debut ʻO King Hedley II. A e kamaʻilio ana e pili ana i ke kaʻina kākau, ke wehe mākou i ia no ka lehulehu he hana ʻehā hola ia. I ka manawa a mākou i pā ai iā Seattle, e iho ana mākou iā ia i ʻekolu a ʻumikūmālima mau hola. No ka mea aʻo kahi mea kākau maikaʻi. ʻAʻole ʻoe e hoʻoponopono, luaʻi ʻoe, ʻo ia ke kuko o kēia manawa. No laila ʻo kēlā mau manawa i hoʻololi i koʻu ola. A ke hana pū nei wau i kahi hōʻike kāne hoʻokahi e pili ana iā Jack Johnson i kāhea ʻia Nā ʻuhane i ka hale. ʻOiai ke huli nei ka honua i ke ala a kāhāhā wale iā mākou, he mea hoʻouluulu kā mākou āpau e hiki ai iā mākou ke kikoo aku a ʻūlū.

Kelly McNeely: I kēia manawa hou, ʻike wau he pili kou i kou moʻaukala me ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a hana pū wau ma ka hale kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. No laila no ka hoihoi wale - a he nīnau paha kēia e hoʻouka ʻia - he aha kou manaʻo i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka hale keaka me nā mea āpau e hana nei i kēia manawa?

ʻO Tony Todd: ʻĀ, manaʻo wau he manawa nui kēia na nā mea kākau. Hele mākou a pau i ka laka no kahi makahiki piha. Ua hoʻomanawanui nā mea kākau i nā pilina a paʻa i lalo a loaʻa i nā kahawai waiwai o ka loaʻa kālā, a manaʻo wau ʻekolu a ʻehā mau makahiki mai kēia manawa, e hoʻomaka mākou e puka mai kēlā. ʻO Bernard Rose lāua ʻo wau - nāna i kuhikuhi i ka mea mua a kāwili ʻia Candyman - ke hana nei i kahi papahana e hele a kupaianaha loa, no laila e puka ana i kekahi manawa o ka makahiki e hiki mai ana, a ʻo ia wale nō ka mea e ʻae iaʻu e ʻōlelo e pili ana i kēlā [ʻakaʻaka]. Ua kī aku mākou iā ia i ka manawa maoli i ka hoʻomaka o ka maʻi ahulau. 

Kelly McNeely: Me kāu ʻoihana, maopopo leʻa ua lilo ʻoe i ʻāpana o nā ʻano franchise he nui e like me ka DCU, Star Trek, The X-Files, Stargate… Loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi punahele pilikino a i ʻole kekahi mea āu e hana ʻole ai inā makemake ʻoe e ʻano malū e hana?

ʻO Tony Todd: ʻImi mau wau i nā kūlana makua kāne maikaʻi i kēlā me kēia manawa. Ua hiki iaʻu ke hana i kekahi, akā ʻaʻole i ka pae aʻu e makemake ai. He mau keiki makua kaʻu ʻelua, a makemake mau wau e hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi mea hiki iā lākou ke kiaʻi. Makemake au i nā mea pūʻiwa. Kahaha nui lākou iaʻu, manaʻo wau e kipaku ana koʻu mau ʻākena a me koʻu poʻe iaʻu i ke kīwī, no laila e ʻike mākou. ʻIke wau aia ʻelua mau papahana e hoʻolālā ʻia ana, no laila e ʻike kāua i ka mea e hana ʻia. A makemake mau wau e hoʻi i ke aʻo ʻana, makemake wau i ke aʻo ʻana, ʻaʻohe mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kēlā. 

Kelly McNeely:  Ke aʻo nei ʻoe no kekahi manawa. 

ʻO Tony Todd: ʻAe, ke ʻōlelo nei wau, ma o a ma, ʻike ʻoe, pono ʻoe e hoʻihoʻi. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi haumana kula manuahi i kahi papahana kupaianaha ma ka Hale Keaka ʻo Eugene O'Neill, a laila ʻo Trinity Rep Conservatory, a ua ʻae lākou iaʻu i loko, ua ʻōlelo lākou e uku i mua, a ʻo ia kaʻu e hoʻāʻo ai e hana. I ka wā i pāʻani ai wau i ka pāʻani, hoʻi wau i koʻu one hānau ʻo Hartford, Connecticut, a hana pū wau me kekahi… e kapa mākou iā lākou he mau haumāna kūpono ʻole, a ua hiki iā mākou ke hoʻoponopono iā lākou. A maikaʻi ka ʻōlelo a me ke kuko. 

Kelly McNeely: ʻIke wau aia kekahi mau manaʻo hopena hope loa e lana ana a puni, e like me Candyman me Leprechaun.
