The actress Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) has signed on to direct psychological thriller Pale Horse, as announced by Deadline today. This will mark the actresses debut as a director.
The film will follow Naia, a reclusive African-American YA book author who is living with MS. When Naia decides to shelter the man who escaped captivity with her long-missing brother, she finds herself caught up in a diabolical mystery.
Sidibe has partnered with Gamechanger Films, a production company and development fund dedicated to projects by and about women, people of colour, LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities.
Speaking to Deadline, Sidibe said “I’m super excited to work with Gamechanger on my first feature! This project is a true stand-out and the character of ‘Naia’ is a Bad Ass!”
