NYFF Live: Making 'Moonlight' | NYFF54

Filmmaker Barry Jenkins, writer Tarell McCraney, and producers Adele Romanski, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner discussed the making of their new film, 'Moonlight,' at the 54th New York Film Festival.
The second feature by American filmmaker Barry Jenkins is already one of the most talked-about independent films of the year. Set and shot in South Florida, Moonlight is inspired by Tarell Alvin McCraney’s In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue. The three-part narrative portrays a gay African-American man at three distinct stages of his life, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. This discussion will take an in-depth look at the making of the film, from Jenkins’s adaptation of the story to his collaborations with indie producer Adele Romanski, and Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner from Plan B, Brad Pitt’s production company. Moderated by Film Society of Lincoln Center Deputy Director Eugene Hernandez.
