From a filmmaking perspective, I really wanted to do something that the audience has never seen before\u2014the first-ever one-shot musical in cinema history. And if there happens to already be a one-shot musical, then I guarantee it was not made for the budget we have.\u201d <\/p>\n Tyler <\/strong>said, \u201cI\u2019ve had the opportunity to watch Armani <\/strong>grow into an amazing storyteller. From the moment he began working at Tyler Perry Studios over a decade ago, to directing my documentary, Maxine\u2019s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story<\/em>, and working on several series at the studio\u2014he has grown so much as a writer, director, and actor. Otra <\/em>is a story about love, fate, and finding your voice. I\u2019m excited for Armani<\/strong>\u2019s solo directorial debut, and for audiences to see his vision come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n Find out why Rome <\/strong>ended up leaving Chicago Fire<\/em> after<\/a> just a handful of episodes. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
