The Truth

Summary: THE TRUTH makes movies for your ears. They're short stories that are sometimes dark, sometimes funny, and always intriguing.

If you're new, some good starting places are: Silvia's Blood, That's Democracy, Moon Graffiti, Tape Delay, or whatever's most recent. Listening with headphones is encouraged!
