Q’orianka Kilcher will star in and produce “Yesteryear” alongside a cast that includes Scott Haze, Wes Studi and Nick Cassavetes. “Yesteryear” is written and directed by Adam VillaSeñor (“In Full Bloom”) and definitely seems to connect thematically with some of the challenges facing America and the world.
The film follows Alma Deswood (Kilcher), a struggling, young Native actress who psychologically unravels in quarantine amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. As Alma’s mind is deconstructed, she is forced to navigate complex relationships, hallucinatory nightmares and painful memories taking her on a journey of introspection that twists the fabric of reality.
Haze plays Alma’s musician ex-boyfriend, Studi portrays Alma’s quirky father and Cassavetes appears as an apartment building manager where Alma resides.
The film is produced by VillaSeñor and Kilcher. Reza Ghassemi and Jacob Stein serve as executive producers. Christopher Pollock co-produces alongside co-executive producers Grant Roberts and Justin Rubin.
