LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

Outburst UK is proud to present "She Wasn't Last Night". This first feature-length romantic drama of its kind about black same gender loving women gets its premiere in the UK as part of LGBT History Month. The film will be followed by a Q&A with its director Darice Jones.
"She Wasn't Last Night" follows the beautiful activist Shantel Crockett who is slammed by drama as her relationship with Reyna, 10 years her junior, begins to crumble. To make matters worse, charming player Jack (Jacqueline) is determined to make Reyna hers - if only for one night. With her jewellery-making talent long-abandoned, and her mounting feelings of failure in her work supporting LGBTQ Youth, Shantel is forced to face Reyna's despair and decide what kind of life she wants for herself. Shantel’s best friend Vanessa encourages her to move on and find meaning her own artistic expressions, and maybe even in a new love. Meanwhile, one of Shantel’s youth, Afro-Dominican poet Reggie, struggles to find her own path and discover her own voice. With the help of a small community of good friends and mentors, both Shantel and Reggie learn lessons they will never forget.
Griot Soul Films does not save the drama for your mama! In fact, the cast is made up of an eclectic group of social activists, artists, educators, professional actors, beginning actors, and even an engineer. Common to all of these strong women is a heartfelt commitment to storytelling coupled with the talent and dedication to tell this story well. The diverse cast is 100% African descended majority LGBTQ, and 100% supportive of the creation of complex film images of Black people throughout the Diaspora.
