"Whatever the hell you need to do" is how to sustain a career as a director, according to Barry Jenkins.
"I worked at Banana Republic for three and a half years while I had a deal at Focus Features and an agent at CAA," the Oscar-winning 'Moonlight' director and co-writer told fellow director Anu Valia ('We Strangers').

@bronzeavery I was the Head Writer on a show called @ALaCarteALLBLK that had great Black queer storylines. We were canceled in 2023 after 16 episodes. Proud but we need more.
#StoryTime: I was asked do I celebrate #GayPride and my reply was I'm a Black man first so I usually face racial discrimination before we get to me being Queer. @HamptonByHilton in Willow Grove, Pennsyltucky said "Hold my beer" Pt 1
@HamptonByHilton Pt. 2 Aidan the Terrible at the front desk refused to rent a room to my husband and I and said the
@HamptonByHilton
inn was full. Low and behold we found one on @Expedia and booked under my husbands name. #GayPride
Pt. 13 And this all started bc Aidan at the @HamptonByHilton in Willow Grove, PA fucked w/the wrong one. I don't play about my husband and my family. Not during #GayPride2024 or any month. Just ask [REDACTED]. Nah that's a discrimination story for another time.
Pt. 12 So here we are a whole me flying my Queer flag for the first time this freely all in the name of discrimination. But my Momma raised a punk but not a coward. @HamptonByHilton hopes I don't point out #GayPride many of us stay at their properties. Or not this yr!
Pt. 11 In our 20 minute convo @HamptonByHilton Lisa never says I'm sorry that happened to you. So I'm hearing this "dogwhistle" that #LGBTQ discrimination isn't a concern for your company. And during #GayPride.
Pt. 10 Today on the first Tuesday of #GayPride I called @HamptonByHilton customer line and got Lisa who seemed more concerned with teaching me company policy and why my case hadn't been escalated. But she would fix it and it would take 72 more hrs.
