Barry Jenkins, Adele Romanski on the "Urgent" Message of Abortion Drama 'Never Rarely Sometimes Always'
As theaters shuttered across the nation amid the coronavirus pandemic, the filmmakers of Never Rarely Sometimes Always had a tough decision to make — wait to release the movie when theaters reopen or release the film on digital platforms to capitalize on an audience confined to their homes. Ultimately, for Adele Romanski and Barry Jenkins, who produced the film under their Pastel Productions banner, the story about a teenage girl's journey to get a safe and legal abortion was resonant with the current state of women's reproductive health in America, and so they, along with writer-director Eliza Hittman and distributor Focus Features, opted to release the movie on VOD platforms.
