#1 Huppert fanboy Barry Jenkins was asked about his red carpet friendship with Huppert and he confirmed that he was a stan: "IS SHE HERE?!!!???. Did you see my face? Did you see my face? Did you see my face? She’s amazing!"
Said he and his producing partner are trying to think of a project they can do together: "We’re trying to figure out what are we going to do next. And we’re like, ‘Maybe we should find something to do with Isabelle Huppert.’ It’s one of those cool things that kind of just happened and people saw us together and it took on a life of its own."
Bonus tidbit from the interview; he was impressed with the camerawork at the Oscars when they zoomed in on the Best Picture Moonlight card: "Whoever the cameraman or live producer of the Oscars was, that zoom was, uhhhh, as a director, I was like, ‘This is money!’ when I saw it. Because it just came right in on it. And for anybody at home who was doubting, it was clear, ‘Holy shit, Moonlight won."
