VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Travina Springer On ‘To Live & Die & Live’ At Sundance

In To Live and Die and Live Amin Joseph plays the film director Muhammad. The film focuses on his and his family’s struggles after the death of their stepfather and Muhammad’s drug addiction.

In an exclusive interview with uInterview, Travina Springer talked about what her character is like in the film.

“I am Muhammad’s sister and we have a very interesting relationship because I’m just not really impressed with my brother and I’d like him to do better,” she explained. “We have a really fun family dynamic in the film. We’re a black Muslim family and that’s not something you see very often in Hollywood.”

Springer also revealed her favorite moments from shooting.

“I would say my favorite moment looking back would be behind the scenes, getting to be very hands-on and creative and make artsy choices as cast,” she said. “There were some scenes that were a little bit improvised, and I would say that was some of the best moments.”
