Time 2 Surrender is the powerful directorial debut of acclaimed actor Elvis Nolasco, known for his work in Godfather of Harlem and Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It, or more recently the Hulu production “Mr Crocket”

Inspired by a deeply personal story, the film explores the emotional and psychological challenges faced by U.S. war veterans—shedding light on a reality too often left in the shadows.

The short was shaped in the editing room, where the narrative was restructured to bring out a sharper emotional rhythm and reinforce the director’s bold, urgent vision.

Backed by executive producers Spike Lee and Elvis Nolasco, Time 2 Surrender is more than a film—it’s a call for empathy, recognition, and change.
