Movie Casting & Crew Call

“I Remember Yesterday” is short film about Mary Lapinsky, who has seen a lot in her life. Born in 1921, she was in her 20s when the world was at war. Since then, our society has gone through a lot of changes. Now, Mary is almost 90 years old. Although she vividly remembers her early days, she seems to forget what is going on around her and does have difficulties participating in present day activities. Her body does not seem to be connected to her mind. We usually call this state “dementia”.

With our movie we want to honor those people, who have contributed to making this country what it is today. And, at the same time, we try to relate our audience to how these men and women might feel nowadays.
