"Remember when Black movies didn't neccesarily star a dude in a fat suit and a wig? Or have major plot twists timed to Gospel numbers for no apparent reason? No?
Well believe it or not there was a time when "Black Art-House" was a thing. 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, a satire about being a black face in a white place, long to bring those days back." DEAR WHITE PEOPLE follows the stories of four black students at an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular "African American" themed party thrown by white students. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film will explore racial identity in "post-racial" America while weaving a universal story of forging one's unique path in the world.
I stumbled across this trailer on indiegogo.com and fell in love with the concept. This group of independent filmmakers are looking to raise money to get this movie produced and released at a theatre near you! After viewing the trailer, I must admit, it is a refreshing change from today's movies with predominantly black casts. Do you think this movie could be successful?
wooow that's a very intresting concept, and is so.
ReplyDeleteI would really love to see this in cinema but I highly dought it's coming to the UK.
So sucks :(
thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I hope this project gets off the ground. It would be a refreshing change from what's in theatres now.
