James Kerwin's conceptually ambitious low-budget debut offers stunning black-and-white HD cinematography, a sultry jazz score and a refreshingly high-minded script, but feels hopelessly amateurish in the acting department.

A groundbreaking new noir film, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE is a "fresh and stylish tale of intrigue and metaphysical darkness" (Ain't It Cool News). Award-winning writer/director James Kerwin "offers up a magnetic force with endless repeat value" (Film Threat) that teases the boundaries of reality.
Kipleigh Brown "exudes Bacall" (Slice of SciFi) as Hoyle, a girl with a sharp mind and a weakness for bourbon who finds herself on the trail of a reclusive genius (John Newton). But her work takes a series of unforeseen twists as events around her grow increasingly fragmented... disconnected... surreal. --© Official Site

Reviews for Yesterday Was a Lie
Yesterday Was a Lie deals with some heady themes, and Brown strikes some nice notes on her character’s frustrated journey, but the film is finally too disjointed and incomprehensible to be enjoyed as much else besides an exercise in style.
There is brilliance here that demonstrates the best of what independent filmmakers strive to do.
