Producer Will Packer has built his career on making movies that feel both specific and undeniably communal, focused on Black joy. From early box office breakthrough Stomp the Yard to iconic fan-favorites like Girls Trip, his filmography celebrates big humor, big heart and the kind of authenticity that invites everyone in and still celebrates his core audience. Now, he’s bringing that same crowd-pleasing energy to his newest film, You, Me & Tuscany, a romantic comedy starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page.
In this episode, Will talks with Jacqueline Coley about what it takes to create stories that feel universal without losing their point of view and why he thinks romantic comedies are long overdue for a theatrical comeback. He also shares the moment he knew his Tuscany leads had real chemistry and why creating a strong creative community has contributed to his success and legacy.
