Dear White People is "a satire about being a black face in a very white place" - a.k.a. being black at an Ivy League institution after white students throw an "African-American theme party". This indie flick is brought to you by the people behind the popular Tumblr of the same name. With so few multi-dimensional roles for black actors and a continuous barrage of limiting portrayals of people of color on reality television and in films, it's certainly nice to see a movie on the horizon that unabashedly explores racial identity in a "post-racial" America. The movie isn't finished, though, and the filmmakers need help covering costs. To help get this movie through production, join the campaign and make a donation at Indiegogo.
