For years the team at NLTT has been working to bring the project from script to screen. It hasn't been easy. Days, weeks and months pass with very little traction, followed by a flurry of activity that results in slamming into another brick wall. We've tried different strategies, created videos, an animatic which you can watch on our homepage, while remaining in constant communication with our audience.

We've lived with this project and these characters for so long, it was kind of eating away at us. We wanted to see these characters brought to life. We wanted to hear their words and actions interpreted by talented actors. We wanted to give you something to whet your appetite, something to get you excited about the story we want to share.

Now, our short film Tomorrow Is Too Late will make its World Premiere at the San Francisco Black Film Festival! This is merely another step toward bringing No Lies Told Then to life.
