Join us for a discussion with writer/director Stefon Bristol who made the award winning Netflix film See You Yesterday that was produced by Spike Lee. 
 
About Stefon Bristol: Brooklyn-born, Long Island-bred, Stefon Bristol is writing his own success story as a fresh face with a creative voice in the indie film world. Bristol graduated from Morehouse College and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, just like his Oscar-winning mentor, Spike Lee.  SEE YOU YESTERDAY, Bristol’s 17-minute student thesis — which screened at 35 film festivals — was adapted into his feature debut. See You Yesterday, premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival before premiering on Netflix globally to outstanding reviews. The film (currently available on the streamer's Black Lives Matter collection) is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, was named one of the “Best Non-Theatrical Releases” of 2019 by Online Film Critics Society and garnered Bristol the nomination for the Best First Feature at the 2020 Independent Spirit Award where he actually won for Best First Screenplay with writing partner, Fredrica Bailey. Bristol’s next project is the intense sci-fi thriller BREATHE from Thunder Road Films. 

About the film: Two teenage science prodigies spend every spare minute working on their latest homemade invention: backpacks that enable time travel. When one of their older brothers is killed, they put their unfinished project to the test to save him. Available to screen on Netflix.
