Comedy helps people lower their guard and allow “those sweet moments to really penetrate [the heart].” No’Mani explained that audiences will see that “we’re not laughing at these characters” but we are portraying these “characters with the utmost reverence.”
No’Mani shared that, through filming “The Promised Land,” he learned that “when you care, self-doubt will always be your companion.” He encouraged that’s “no reason to stop or halt, or abandon ship. You gotta make friends with the fact that you are not enough, and that’s okay.”
The pilot episode can be streamed now. The first season of “The Promised Land” series debuts on YouTube Oct. 1.
