BFI NETWORK SW Funded Project: A Noble Truth Dir. Tia Salisbury

BFI NETWORK South West are thrilled to be supporting director Tia Salisbury’s short film ‘A Noble Truth’. 

 

A NOBLE TRUTH Synopsis:  When flat-earth activist Fawn takes her alternative beliefs offline and onto the streets, frustration and rejection lead her to wrestle with her newfound ideology.

Producer Katherine Press on the process of making A Noble Truth…

 

This has been a thrilling opportunity for Tia and myself to take the leap from ‘guerilla’ to funded filmmaking. As Bristol residents (and myself a born and bred Bristolian), it’s been a sheer delight to work with Bristol-based talent of the highest calibre, and to film in locations such as We the Curious and Queen Square that are uniquely Bristol. The way that local businesses and individuals have gone out of their way to support us has been overwhelming, and we can’t wait for them all to see the finished film!”
