“Medicine for Melancholy” Opens in New York

Director Barry Jenkins (left) at the IFC Center in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village Friday night with actor Wyatt Cenac (middle) and producer Justin Barber. The crowds lined up for the film, which premiered at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, and it looked like a good box office night for IFC Films. Jenkins gave indieWIRE a preview with an exclusive clip and commentary prior to its roll out. After the Friday screenings, a mob headed over to the Lower East Side for a party celebrating the film’s opening.
