As if being an Oscar nominated actor and an author wasn't enough, Gabourey Sidibe is also adding film director to her resume.
Written by Asabi Lee and Paul Hart-Wilden (Wolf Town), and based on a story by Chris Courtney Martin (The Last Laugh), Pale Horse centres around Naia, a highly regarded but reclusive African-American YA author living with MS. Naia finds herself enveloped in a dark mystery when she gives shelter to a man who escaped captivity with her long-lost brother.
The thriller is being produced by Effie T. Brown (Dear White People) and Wellington Love (The United States vs. Billie Holiday) together with Gamechanger Films, a production company and development fund that focuses on projects by and about women, people of color, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities.
