BARRY JENKINS — With the team that made Moonlight | TIFF 2016 https://t.co/0w2j95SipQ via @YouTube
Barry Jenkins came across “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue” and was immediately inspired by the main character's story. With McCraney’s blessing, Jenkins was able to convert the story/play into “Moonlight.”

In “Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue”, McCraney based this story off of his own experiences with his queer identity and growing up in Liberty City, Miami.
“Moonlight”, the 2016 drama film directed by Barry Jenkins was based on the unpublished play “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue” by Tarell Alvin McCraney, which tells the story of a young black man coming to terms with his sexuality.

Tarell Alvin McCraney actually wrote “In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue”, as a drama school project and never imagined it becoming a major Hollywood movie!

Moonlight was a very personal story for the director, having shot the movie around his childhood home. Jenkins took from his memories of his own mother struggling with addiction to craft a screenplay out of McCraney's story. #RECHSHistoryClub#HistoryClubMovieMatinee
"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was actually ranked at number 54 on the list of the Best Texas Songs of All-time, even being given an honorable mention as one of the top ten best Tejano recordings of all-time!! #RECHSHistoryClub#HistoryClubSelena
@SusanaG8305 I like how the movie incorporated this fact about her life by having her father teach her to sing in Spanish at the beginning of the movie.
