Picture Lock Radio: Ep. 118- Stefon Bristol of See You Yesterday

Happy Friday my peoples! Today I’m talking with Stefon Bristol, the director/co-writer of See You Yesterday. The film made the rounds as a short film and has now been turned into a feature that will play at the Tribeca Film Festival next week to sold out crowds and debut May 17th on Netflix. I have stalked the progress of this film with great pride as the film played during the first DC Black Film Festival and I’ve watched Stefon grind it out. So while you can’t get tickets for Tribeca, let’s support him May 17th for sure! It’s been a minute since I’ve had a trailer reaction, but with Gemini Man dropping this week I figured this would be a good time to do it. Plus, I have your answers to last week’s question of the week!
