Wang also mentioned that they try to have "fresh eyes" for each other when it comes to everyday work, explaining the same by saying:

"We're not showing every version of the script, we're not showing every cut of the film, and it's so we pick the right moment where we really feel like, 'Okay, I've done everything. I've used everybody, and now I'm really stuck or I feel like I don't know what else to do.' Then I have him come in or he has me come in."

Lulu further stated that she and Barry Jenkins aim to "see the best version" of their respective work, adding:

"I'm always like, 'Let me read it.' And he's like, 'No, not yet. One more draft or one more cut. You can see it once all the music's done, once this is in.' That's kind of how we are."
