He made his debut as a director with his drama film,  The Birth of a Nation, in which he also starred. It made history at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival when Fox Searchlight Pictures acquired the distribution rights for $17.5 million, breaking the record for the most paid for a Sundance Film Festival production. It surpassed Little Miss Sunshine, which ten years earlier had been acquired by Searchlight for $10 million. The film was ultimately unsuccessful in wide release and did not receive acclaim. Its reception was affected by news of rape allegations made against Parker.
