Justin Simien is the creator of the popular Netflix series Dear White People, as well as the writer and director of the critically acclaimed feature film of the same title, which won the Special Jury Award for “Breakthrough Talent” at Sundance 2014. Simien was also featured in Variety as one of “10 Directors to Watch.” In addition to producing and directing online companion pieces for Participant Media’s The Help, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and Middle of Nowhere campaigns, he has also written, produced, and directed for Take Part TV, Participant Media’s funded YouTube channel.
"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."
