Editors note: Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series debuts and celebrates the scripts of films that will factor in this year’s movie awards races. Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Wells …
“I’m actually a little in awe of the fact that this film has — and could — reach so many people,” Wells told Deadline of’s success, which includes multiple nominations at the Gothams and Spirit Awards. “I mean, I didn’t choose to make this film. It came from a place of expression, and you don’t think about an audience at all when you begin to write something.”
The film was produced by Barry Jenkins and Adele Romanski’s Pastel Pictures, who discovered Wells thanks to one of her short films that screened at the Toronto Film Festival in 2017. “We stayed in touch after our first meeting, and I promised [Romanski] the script. Eventually, two years later, I delivered it,” she said of their collaboration.
“We developed the script a lot over the subsequent two years or so. Obviously, the pandemic got in the way, but we were always moving forward toward production.”
