A24 New Wave - Episode 7 - Barry Jenkins with Tiffany Vazquez

Description:

Tiffany Vazquez joins to talk about Barry Jenkins, who is arguably the most impactful individual who has worked with A24. Moonlight famously won the Best Picture Academy Award, and he's been putting out great work ever since. We briefly touch on If Beale Street Could Talk, The Underground Railroad, Mufasa, and we get into his influence as a Producer. People might be surprised by how many films that he has produced and distributed with A24. He's a monumental talent and he's not done.
