“A fresh and stylish take on film noir. Deliciously photographed under the creative eye of Jason Cochard, Kerwin weaves us a tale of intrigue and metaphysical darkness.”
-Ain’t It Cool News

“Like ‘Blade Runner’ before it, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE manages to meld film noir and science fiction into a fresh new world unlike anything we’ve seen before.”
-iF Magazine

“Boldly filmed in black and white, the Kristopher Carter musical score Kerwin deftly uses only adds to the surreal atmosphere.”
-Samuel K. Sloan, Slice of SciFi

“I’ve seen this flick three times and each time I see it, it gets better. It’s like watching ‘Citizen Kane’… as the film reveals itself, it draws you in. Four-and-a-half stars.”

“A profound, marvelously intertwined story. This is what indie films are all about.”
