Hi, Nate Parker:

We've been following the buzz around The Birth of A Nation for months now. And by following, I mean borderline stalking. The film, not you. That would be weird. 

We are also obsessed with the story of Nat Turner. We're impressed and inspired by your dedication to bringing his story to the big screen. We've read that you're not only acting in the film, but you wrote it and put up your own dough. Way to step up to the plate. The film stills we've seen on Shadow & Act look not just promising, but amazing.
