Dear White People Concept Trailer from Justin Simien on Vimeo.
A satire about being a Black face in a white place.
Remember when Black movies didn't necessarily star a dude in a fat suit and a wig? Or have major plot twists timed to Gospel numbers for no apparent reason? No? Damn...
Well, believe it or not there was a time when movies like Do The Right Thing, Hollywood Shuffle, and Boyz In Da Hood were breaking box office records as well as making us laugh, cry, and think in ways movies hadn't before. The humble producers of DEAR WHITE PEOPLE long to bring those days back.
The Sundance hit has been called..."exploding with thought-provoking questions that are also funny!"
by Vanity Fair and is opening around the country on October 17th.
