About Barry Jenkins
Barry Jenkins debuted with Medicine for Melancholy in 2008, a San Francisco walk and talk shot for little money. Moonlight arrived in 2016 in three chapters about Chiron and won best picture.
If Beale Street Could Talk followed in 2018, adapted from James Baldwin with shifting time and a warm score.

Watch in release order for the full arc.
Good to know
These are standalone stories with no shared continuity, so there is no chronological order to untangle. Moonlight and Beale Street share structure tricks but no plot. Mufasa uses photoreal animation while the first three are live action. Mufasa is the latest released, with no next feature dated as of October 2026.
