Seattle Medium: Exclusive interview with Justin Simien, writer and director of the movie Dear White People, at the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival. Carter Johnson, interviewer.
Dear White People is a witty and whip-smart satire about being a Black face in a (mostly) white place. The film Dear White centers on bi-racial campus DJ and resident advisor Samantha and her fellow African-American students at the prestigious Winchester University.
Dear White People was the recipient of the SIFF 2014 Youth Jury Award Prize for Best FutureWave Feature: Grand Jury Prize. It is scheduled to play in theaters nationwide later this year.
