In EWs exclusive trailer for NetflixsSee You Yesterday, her mission is clear.
But, as Sebastian warns, this is about controlling something we obviously have no control over.

Escapism is great, but too much of escapism only leaves our people stagnant.
Theres no more growth.

I still have something to say about it.
I wrote a feature first before I shot the short, he says.
Everybody wanted to do a feature.

I thought, if everybodys gonna do a feature, Im gonna do a feature, too.
He told me I was delusional, Bristol laughs.
Bristol once worked as Lees assistant onBlacKkKlansmanhad observed: how hed make a feature film.
Netflix
I had to find my own rhythm.
Thats what I needed.
In total, its been a five-year process to make the feature film forSee You Yesterday.
If that didnt work, then the inevitable death of the older brother wouldnt work, he says.
We had to verify we understood the family and understood who the family is.
Last Thursday, speaking just days after post-production onSee You Yesterdayconcluded, Bristol feels grateful.
He remembers times during the development process when he was broke and couldnt pay rent.
At one point, Lee gave him a loan to hold him over until the film started earning money.
Thank God that I have what I have and that Im prepared for it.
Its just that its a weird experience.
