According to Williams -- who co-produced the film under her family's production banner, Dream Merchant Media -- McCrary was her go-to choice when it came to casting the role of her brother for the holiday project.
Family Matters arrived on television in the fall of 1989 as a blue collar alternative to The Cosby Show. It focused on a middle-class African American family living in Chicago where patriarch Carl Winslow worked as a police officer and his wife Harriet was an elevator operator at a newspaper. Their tiny home housed three children, a grandmother, a widowed aunt and her young son. Early plots involved the oldest son dealing with a bad report card, Harriet losing her job and Carl restoring an old police car. A lesson was learned at the every of every episode and the laugh track got a lot of use.
Remember, at the time he shoots Karl, he is already traumatized from his past incident of shooting an innocent kid. Being forced to use his gun again makes him snap. Unable to find peace on either coast, Sgt. Al Powell recedes deeper into his own mind and creates a safe place in between his two tragic events. He imagines himself a family man in Chicago, still a cop but one where his duties never interfere with a solid, loving home life. And not just a pregnant wife, either. Here he has a wife, three kids, a sister-in-law, and his mother all surrounding him to give him support whenever and for whatever he needs. He's a family man dealing with family matters. He's not Al Powell. He's Carl Winslow, a man never attacked by terrorists or spirits of the undead.

The pictures disappear and are replaced with three more. The picture on the left is of seven people smiling and posing together in formalwear. The picture in the center is of two people in suit jackets and ties, one of whom is wearing a Santa hat, holding open beer bottles. The picture has a small blue X superimposed on the corner. The picture on the right is of a group of people seated around a table covered in food served family style. A white box with text comes onto the screen. Onscreen text reads: To remember your time at Heller!
The pictures slide away and are replaced by two others. The photo on the left has been edited to look like a film clipping and shows a person holding up a full glass and smiling. The picture on the right is a screenshot of a Zoom meeting with speaker view enabled and has a large blue square superimposed on the edges.
The pictures disappear and are replaced with two others which have been edited to look like their on a film strip. The picture on the left has a large blue rectangle superimposed on the edges. It shows a line of students in formalwear posing in front of what appears to be a bridge. The picture on the right has a blue x superimposed on the upper left corner. It shows six students smiling together for a group selfie in front of trees covered in pink, red, and yellow leaves.
As a new family of hybrid inorganic-organic materials with large porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received attractive attention recently on encapsulating functional guest species. Although the encapsulation of luminescent guest into bulk MOFs can tune the luminescent property, the powder composite materials are limited to the application in optical sensors and devices. In the present work, we use a modified liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) pump method for the fabrication of lanthanide coordination compounds (LCCs)-encapsulated MOF thin film on substrate with high encapsulation efficiency. The resultant composite film reveals an oriented and homogeneous composite film, in which a white light emission by tuning the LCCs of red, blue and green emission can be obtained. This strategy may open new perspectives for developing high-encapsulation-efficiency, oriented, and homogeneous solid-state lighting composite films in the application of optical sensors and devices.
AIDS and its devastation called for a radical response in the simplest of forms. On a humanitarian level, what was needed was simply compassion: basic empathy with the suffering of a fellow human, which in the height of neoliberalism, whose growth coincided with the AIDS epidemic, was scarce and seen as reactionary. When attempting a film on AIDS, Jarman knew he had to turn the camera inward in order to come out. For the personal to become universal, the colour blue then became his metaphor for illness, a metaphor for transcending it:
