Light Years From Truth

Having travelled faster than the speed of light, Gregory and his android assistant, Two-Bedin 1, telescopically view the earth and attempt to reconstruct the events of a severed past. However, it soon becomes apparent that Two-Bedin1 has a different agenda. She is programmed to protect him, and in this case, the danger is not external.

Director Biography - Issah Contractor

When he's not playing gigs on either the drums or the electric bass, Issah is either teaching at the Victoria Conservatory of Music, or coming up with a way to fund his films. Light Years from Truth is Issah's 4th short. His three previous shorts in succession prior to this were GARUDA 2021 (A film that explores psychosis), Will You Marry Me 2021 (On the topic of race and privilege) and Came With Cuffs 2020 (A dark comedy exploring stereotypes, including 2 deaf gangsters modelled after the baddest gangster he knows.......his wife!). Issah is a Canadian born Ismaili raised in East Africa. Growing up, his dad (Purple) was a self proclaimed Rastafari, and his mom (Shany), an entrepreneur and manager of Purple's reggae/cover band. Issah's path was destined to be a bit sideways.
