Toronto - Filmed entirely in black and white, UNTOLD chronicles the tale of one man's struggle with despair and empowerment to rise above it. Compelling, provocative and deeply human, this  short film is a story of courage, hope and beauty.

The script for Untold was based on an original poem by the co-Executive Director/Producer and Film Editor Johnny Lissoos. Lead Feature actor and Co-Executive Director/Producer Marco Perretta describes the film as a raw and fresh intake with a powerful message stating that:

 "even at the lowest part of life it really isn't that bad and that when I feel a sense of ending there is always a beginning" . Everyone has that feeling. A belief of no return in the lowest part of life, is a feeling that everyone has experienced at some point in their life, but watching this film imparts a gives a strong message that even in the very darkest moments there is more to life, an opportunity for new beginnings and all you have to do is fight for it!!!"



This Premiere Screening Event is Sponsored by:
