As Aleshea Harris makes her feature directorial debut, she’s establishing her own cinematic style, which pulls from many influences.

The Is God Is writer/director recently noted that despite several comparisons to Quentin Tarantino, she’s trying to do “my own thing” with the Southern Gothic revenge thriller, now playing in theaters.

“I don’t want to be like a poor man’s Tarantino, you know?” Harris told the Associated Press. “I am doing my own thing, and I hope that people recognize that. It seems like they are.”
