We chat with YouPeople star Nia Long and director Kenya Barris (funnyblackdude) working with Jonah Hill and Lauren London, as well as filming the complicated dinner scene in the new Netflix movie:
Kenya Barris' directorial debut, You People, explores modern-day obstacles in a romantic comedy. In You People, Ezra is searching for love and a way for his podcast to take off but has nearly given up hope. However, a chance meeting with Amari changes everything, and the young couple quickly falls in love. After becoming engaged, a new set of problems arises when Ezra and Amari realize they need to introduce their parents.
Kenya Barris: Collaboration with Jonah came because we are both from LA. I love Mid90s, and I've been a fan of Jonah forever. You know what I'm saying? We started talking and texting. We sat down for what should have been a 30-minute talk, it turned into a three-hour talk. And we were like, "Let's do a love letter to LA culture and basically more, a love letter to love. Let's do something like that, and kind of show the differences and similarities between the cultures.
Nia Long: I think most of it was in the moment, but also on the page. Meaning that we were able to improv and react to things that you just can't put on the page. And when you get a group of actors like that together, there's a certain rhythm of a scene and once everyone knows their note, you trust. Then it becomes this musical dance until... Well, I don't want to give away what happens at the dinner.
