    Whereas working in publicity, Simien spent his off-hours writing “Expensive White Individuals” and used his tax return to fund a brief trailer used to entice financing. It labored, to a level: Simien ended up selling the movie on CNN and elevating $25,000, however as he shared on “What No One Tells You,” that wasn’t precisely sufficient to get him the place he wanted to be.

    “I don’t know if anybody has informed you, however movies value significantly greater than $25,000 to make,” he mentioned, “and so I had finished CNN, we had raised $25,000 — nonetheless couldn’t pay my hire, nonetheless couldn’t determine what to do subsequent. I really felt even worse than I felt earlier than as a result of it felt like I had had this second in actuality that informed me this was not simply in my head. This actually has potential however there was nonetheless no viable path to make it and that felt like such a failure to me.”
