Because We Said We Would is set in a white board world where the scenes and additional characters are drawn throughout.
Follow Jeanie and Tam from the age of seven as they bond over Queen and cassette tapes, making a pact to meet every 5 years, same time, same place. They grow up through changing music scenes, schoolyard taunts and dreams of rock stardom, where their bond deepens into something that defies easy definition and a childhood promise leads to a lifelong connection. But not everyone’s song plays out the same…
This is a dynamic, working-class story of friendship and music, tracing decades of love, loss, and loyalty that unfolds with humour and heart.
