Bess, a rebellious trailer park teen, and her nine-year-old friend Waldo, steal a car and make a desperate journey from Kansas to Las Vegas in search of Bess� father, a man she�s never known. It isn�t long before the troublesome duo catch the attention of a career grifter called Roach (Bill Sage, American Psycho, Boardwalk Empire, Nurse Jackie).

This unlikely trio of misfits embarks on an adventure through the beautiful and dangerous landscapes of America�s Midwest, where they encounter an array of lost-souls, deadbeats and con men, and ultimately learn that family can be found in the oddest of places.

Director William �Joe� Saunders remarked, �Sweet Little Lies is a touching film about the struggle to understand one�s place in the world. Inspired by movies from my childhood (Goonies, E.T., Empire of the Sun), I wanted to capture a child's journey into adulthood through an exciting adventure story. While this movie�s outward genre might be labeled as a �Road Movie,� it goes beyond that. Bess� adventure is more akin to the classic Hero�s Journey of say, Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Bess, like Luke, is on a quest for something bigger than herself. As she journeys towards that goal, she picks up a wide range of allies and enemies, who ultimately push her to reflect more deeply on her own goals and dreams. In the style of the classic Hero�s Journey, Bess� outward cinematic quest leads to a deeper emotional awakening�.

Mark Osborne, Director of Dreamworks� �Kung Fu Panda�, says �The magic of Sweet Little Lies is distilled in its playful yet thought-provoking animation.�

Sweet Little Lies is the first feature film produced by AnyWhere Films in association with Old City Entertainment and will be available in a variety of outlets including Netflix, ITunes, Amazon and retailers nationwide.

The Sweet Little Lies DVD will include the following special features:
� Movie Trailer
� Audio Commentary
� Blooper Reel
� Deleted Scenes
� Photo Gallery
