The latest feature from Calvin Thomas and Yonah Lewis, WHITE LIE centres on Katie (Kacey Rohl), a young woman who has become a literal poster child on her university campus. Recently diagnosed with cancer, she’s the focal point of an online funding campaign for both herself and other cancer-related causes. The only problem is, it’s all built on a lie: Katie isn’t sick, and never has been. And as her story slowly begins to unravel, she disastrously decides to double down, unable to give up the real-life fantasy world she’s constructed for herself. Filmed and set in Hamilton.
“Driven by nuanced, persuasive performances and shot with an urgent, jittery tension, White Lie is a compelling close-up character study of a recklessly needy anti-heroine caught in an impossible dilemma of her own making.” – Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter
