TWST / Things We Said Today

This documentary film transports viewers back to the vibrant streets of New York City during a pivotal weekend in August 1965, framed around the Beatles' historic arrival and their first-ever concert at Shea Stadium. By meticulously curating archive material from ABC, CBS, NBC, and other sources, as well as incorporating 8mm home movies and exclusive concert footage captured by fourteen 35mm cameras, the film immerses its audience in a remarkably authentic period setting. In an innovative twist, four teenagers are digitally inserted into this archive material using animation techniques, creating a time-travel experience that allows us to witness firsthand the excitement and energy of that unforgettable era.
