The lives of four black students at an Ivy League college converge after controversy breaks out due to the ill-conceived theme of the campus humor magazine's annual Halloween party. Director: Justin Simien Writer: Justin Simien (screenplay) Stars: Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Kyle Gallner Simien, inspired by his experiences as an African-American college student, wrote the first draft of the script in 2012. The next year, he made a trailer to promote and gain attention and funds for his project, which went viral.[9] He also launched a campaign at Indiegogo to raise $25,000 but he got an overwhelming response and managed to raise $40,000 instead.[10] The project won Indiewire's Project of the Year title and Simien was later invited to 2013 Tribeca Film Festival to participate in Filmmaker/Industry meetings hosted by the festival.[11] Talking about Tribeca Film Festival, Simien said that "we had a lot of meetings with a lot of studios. We had a lot of conversations with studios and distributors and basically, we decided that the best offer on the table was from an independent financier, Julie Lebedev of Code Red Films. To make it independently, that was really the dream -- because then we could make the movie we wanted to make.
