Dee Rees
Born:1976
Writer-director Dee Rees won lots of worthy praise for her 2011 feature-length debut Pariah, a moving coming-of-age story about a young black lesbian in Brooklyn who struggles with her own sexual and gender identity as well as her family’s homophobia.
Since then, Rees has lent her directorial vision to Bessie, HBO’s biopic of queer blues singer Bessie Smith (portrayed by Queen Latifah), and is now at work with Shondalond Productions developing a historical drama series about the Great Migration for FX.
