It is as smart and fearless a debut as I have seen from an American filmmaker in quite some time: knowing but not snarky, self-aware but not solipsistic, open to influence and confident in its own originality. –A.O. Scott, The New York Times

More About The Actors of Dear White People

 

Winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival’s Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent, Dear White People is a sly, provocative satire of race relations in the age of Obama. Writer/director Justin Simien follows a group of African American students as they navigate campus life and racial politics at a predominantly white college in a sharp and funny feature film debut that earned him a spot on Variety’s annual “10 Directors to Watch.” When Dear White People screened at MOMA’s prestigious New Directors/New Films, the New York Times’ A.O. Scott wrote, “Seeming to draw equal measures of inspiration from Whit Stillman and Spike Lee, but with his own tart, elegant sensibility very much in control, Mr. Simien evokes familiar campus stereotypes only to smash them and rearrange the pieces.” – See more at: http://www.dearwhitepeoplemovie.com/synopsis#sthash.DrZmw9iJ.dpuf

Dear White People Soundtrack Ft. Hopsin, Caught A Ghost, Kilo Kish +More Coming Soon From Lakeshore Records!

The movie isn’t just decent – it’s incredibly entertaining. There are a lot of moving parts that contribute to what ultimately makes the movie work. These include the movie’s distinct visual language, a great soundtrack, and a stellar ensemble featuring Teyonah Parris (proving that she is horribly underused on Mad Men), Brandon P Bell, and Tyler James Williams. –Indiewire

Annihilation Soundtrack: Rolling Stone Tracks Down Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow To Talk About Their Acclaimed Score

With Annihilation, the duo crafted a mind-altering soundworld with acoustic guitar, orchestra, a touch of electronics and a four-note motif. – Andy Beta, Rolling Stone

Alex Garland’s Annihilation is one of the most talked-about films of the year, and that also extends into the score by Ivor Novello Award winning and Emmy® nominated composer Ben Salisbury and Beak>/Portishead’s Geoff Barrow.  The obsession and veneration expressed by movie and film music critics alike appears insatiable, and to add to the buzz is an interview with Andy Beta for Rolling Stone, who tracked down the composing duo in their Bristol homes!    Have you listened to the album or seen the film yet?

Read the composer interview at Rolling Stone.
