11 years ago, writer/director Skinner Myers saw an old photograph of the last moments in the life of Frank Embree who remained strong after receiving over 100 lashes. He felt a connection with the man in the photograph as well as a rush of emotions that stayed with him through Columbia University, Brooklyn College, and USC Film School. Over the years, he learned more of his story: Frank Embree was a black man accused of raping a white girl (although there were no witnesses) and was overtaken by a mob while being moved to the courthouse for his trial. Skinner Myers pondered the image over the years, running through a gamut of emotions from anger, helplessness, frustration, sadness, and finally took it upon himself to do what he could do for this man from history: he memorialized him in film.
