Q&A: Tyler Perry on directing his 1st script, 27 years later

Associated Press  

TORONTO — Tyler Perry has directed his first screenplay, 27 years after writing it. “A Jazzman’s Blues,” which is premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, was Perry’s first stab at screenwriting long before Madea made him a media mogul, back when he was pouring what little money he had into less successful Atlanta stage shows. “The timing seemed to be right,” Perry said in an interview ahead of the film’s premiere Sunday. If I’m not mistaken, I think it was “Seven Guitars.” I would have to sneak it an intermission and go in when people came out for a smoke. Well, you don’t get more diverse than Tyler Perry Studios.
