Question: Without giving too much away, can you tell us a little bit about the storyline of The Forge?
Chris Fabry: The novel is slightly different from the film because it shows more of the story of Isaiah’s mother, Cynthia, as she struggles to love her son well and give him a vision for manhood. We learn a lot of the backstory of these two in the novel and see the effects of an absent father on the heart of a young man. When Isaiah comes into contact with a business owner who sees something in him, the story takes off.
What was it about this story that intrigued you when you first heard it was in the works?
