Cord Jefferson's directorial debut hilariously follows a frustrated novelist (Jeffrey Wright) who is tired of the industry profiting from "Black" entertainment that relies on offensive tropes- yet somehow finds himself in the middle of that hypocrisy.We sat down with Cord to discuss Erasure, the book that the film is based on, and the connection he felt that prompted him to write the script.
