DEAR WHITE PEOPLE
A satire about being a Black face in a white place.
Click here to help bring this film to theaters: http://bit.ly/DWPYoTu

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. But we can’t do it without you!

We pieced together what resources we had to make this trailer in order to entice investors for our planned million dollar feature. Armed with this trailer and your support we plan to make this film a reality. Click here to help bring this film to theaters: http://bit.ly/DWPYoTu

So stereotypes wrapped in hipster dogma are better?
Jun 14th 2012

Said in GD, social commentary from affluent college kids. Pass.
Jun 14th 2012

I don't understand this position at all.
Jun 19th 2012
62
ah PTP is about as old as GD
Jun 14th 2012
7
No. This just looks really shitty to this forum too.
Jun 14th 2012
8
basically...
Jun 14th 2012
9
As old as the filmmakers
Jun 14th 2012
10
      which are at least a decade younger than me
Jun 14th 2012
12
      There is nothing about this that is fresh. Nothing.
Jun 14th 2012
13
      no. thing.
Jun 14th 2012
14
      there is nothing about anything that is fresh
Jun 14th 2012
15
           Wrong.
Jun 14th 2012
19
                i'm right
Jun 14th 2012
22
                     Wrong. You're just mad cause people are calling this lame shit out.
Jun 14th 2012
24
                          your lame
Jun 14th 2012
27
                               His lame what?
Jun 14th 2012
32
                               read a bit more closely than that
Jun 14th 2012
33
                                    which explains a lot.
Jun 14th 2012
35
                                         not if you felt the sudden need to grammar check
Jun 14th 2012
38
                               I'm neither. This just looks like a big pile of shit.
Jun 15th 2012
57
      What present day issues?
Jun 14th 2012

Jun 14th 2012
36
                     why?
Jun 14th 2012
37
                          You've added nothing to the conversation
Jun 14th 2012
42
                               Is that what you think you're doing?
Jun 14th 2012
44
I mean, here's the thing. There's a ton of "white films" that bite
Jun 14th 2012
28
exactly
Jun 14th 2012
29
biting's not a big thing if you're adding a fresh perspective
Jun 14th 2012
39
      Exactly.
