MESSAGE FROM WRITER/DIRECTOR
Hey guys! Steve Tandy here. If you're reading this, then it means you're considering donating some money into my film! Well I'm here to tell you that you SHOULD! Yesterday's News is my debut narrative short film and I'm super proud of it and think it's pretty damn cool! I self-funded almost all of the film myself from work savings, and now I'm hoping for some donations for film festival submissions, and marketing the project. P.s, did I mention you get rewards for helping! And for those that don't know the way Pozible works, if the target is not met by the deadline I get absolutely NOTHING! NIL! ZILCH! Cruel life! So please spare what you can and help support my future in this industry!
THE FILM
Yesterday's News is 13 minute Drama, which focuses on the unsettling encounters a young worker has working the graveyard shift at a petrol station. Over the course of one night, the worker feels increasingly threatened by the customers inside the store and the dangerous world he sees outside the windows.

Yesterday's News was made by a collection of misfits and ragtags from Swinburne University of Technology.
