When speaking on how the project came to fruition, Tony Cornelius reveals that his father envisioned a series like this before he died in 2012.
“My father for years wanted to do a movie on television,” Cornelius said. “'American Soul' just has all the elements that people want. It’s got the good the bad and the ugly and I think the millennials and younger people can learn from it. There’s a lot of teaching moments in American Soul as well and I made sure those teachable moments were visible because my father taught me everything I know.”
