Dear White People

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? Damn... 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. The trailer is already generating tons of buzz, views and comments online with 650K views and over $35K raised on IndieGogo in just a week. Will this film make it to theaters?

The concept trailer for DEAR WHITE PEOPLE exploded online last week with over a half million views and tens of thousands of comments. Is it racist? Could it potentially shine a light on important issues? Can it actually get made?
