Pariah’s writer / director Dee Rees and star Adepero Oduye have made The Hollywood Reporter’s Next Gen Class of 2011. Rees originally wrote Pariah as a feature but turned it into a short for her thesis at NYU, which ended up making the film fest rounds and garnering critical acclaim. The feature-length lesbian-themed film that tells the story of Alike, a teen girl living in Brooklyn trying to discover herself and her sexuality amidst homophobia and a volatile home life, will open for a limited run in theaters on Christmas Day.
