A conversation with director Cord Jefferson, recipient of the MVFF Award for Breakthrough Directing. Moderated by MVFF Programmer Bri’anna Moore.
About the film:
Writer Cord Jefferson (The Good Place) proves himself a director to watch with this impressive adaptation of Percival Everett’s Erasure. Jeffrey Wright stars as a disgruntled professor and author whose satirical novel calls out the publishing industry’s extractive treatment of Black people, and, to his great chagrin, makes him an anonymous overnight success.
