“Yesterday…” started off as a Black Mirror spec script entitled “No One Likes You.” Only problem was I couldn’t fit the world in just a one-hour slot. It wasn’t until COVID shut the world down that I finally cranked the story into a feature-length script.

I was always entertained by the what-if senior citizens had to maintain their social media accounts as if their lives depended on it? Then, after reading about work-for-trade program in Norway called dungad where students are given free room/board in exchange for caring for senior citizens, I found my story. It wasn’t until obsessing over The Carpenter’s song “Yesterday Once More” that I found my title.
