While making the film and hearing his voice when we were editing it, it started to become very personal, especially when he talked about telling his wife that he had to quit his job and do what he thought he was meant to do, which was to be a comedian.
The name originally was This is the Mac Man , but in the film, we tell the story of how "I ain't scared of you" came about.

The guy that went on before Bernie got booed--and Bill was backstage with Bernie and told him, "Be careful out there--this audience is tough. I remember that line and that episode very well--he indeed made a statement with it. He went onstage and just said, "I ain't scared of you mother!
Rhonda talked about how he didn't even write or plan that--it just came from him. It really showed who he was when he came out and said that and at that point, there was no way to not have called the film, "I Ain't Scared of You.

Some couldn't make it because of their schedules--I know Spike Lee wanted to do it--and George Clooney and Matt Damon wanted to--but they were in Europe. But we did get a lot of great people who took time out their schedule to sit down with me. It was such a great outpouring of love and respect for him. You already mentioned Bernie Mac's widow, Rhonda McCullough, and his daughter, Je'Niece, the two people who undoubtedly knew him the most intimately, being part of the project. What was it like collaborating with them? I had never really done it that way before, but it seemed if they were willing to do it, those were the people who should tell the story, more than me or anyone else.
But Je'Niece is quite a talent; she has a future in the business if she wants it. She's smart, she has a sense of humor, she's pretty and charming--she's got the whole package.

I don't think there's anything revealing if you really knew him, but if you only know who he is from a film or a sitcom, I think you'll learn a lot from this.
If there was one thing you'd want folks to take away from this documentary, what would it be?
