This is Pariah, a beautifully shot film with wonderful performances and really assured writing and direction.
In short, go see it.
There are too many wonderful people I know involved with this project to mention them all but I’d like to point out two:
Adepero Oduye plays the lead and does a dazzling job. I’ve worked with her before and she was amazing to have on our set (she even visited my grad directing actors class to work with the up-and-coming NYU students).
She’s probably the kindest person you’ll ever meet in this business and she’s gonna be a star… watch.
The other Dee Rees, was a year ahead of me at NYU and served as an inspiration and guide while I was applying to the Screenwriter’s and Director’s lab (she attended a few years before me).
You may have heard this said about others before but let me say it again as someone with firsthand knowledge, Dee is just a nice person. A good person. And she’s incredibly talented. The first part (being nice) may not carry much weight when all is said and done in this business but it means everything to me.
I admire her.
Support this film by seeing it and witness something wonderful emerging in indie film…
