Life Changing!, 23 July 2006
10/10
Author: HenryIV from United States

I had the privilege of seeing a private screening of the film tonight.

I went to see it with a date and let me tell you... I hate to cry at the movies and in fact, I don't very much but this one really got to me.

I left the theater and had to tell my date that I didn't feel well and went into my car and started balling. This has never happened to me before, I don't consider myself a softy at all much the contrary.

This film is filled with poetry and powerful performances. This is a story I will never forget and filmmakers I am SURE I will see again. There is a lot of wisdom and insightful messages in this story.

The cinematography was breathtaking especially since I learned it was done on a minuscule budget (The director wouldn't say exactly how much). But I think this film could change the industry. It proves that you can deliver incredible production quality on an Indie budget. Although the images were beautiful, it really delivers on story and performances.

Mark Hefti went through a striking transformation during the film. He becomes a different person physically and in his demeanor. I knew he wrote the script before I watch it so it added a lot of meaning behind the messages. Well done!

Scout Taylor-Compton is unbelievable. What a hottie. She has so much charm on screen. You can't help but fall in love with the girl.

I promised in a signed statement not to reveal any plot points so unfortunately I can't talk about the story but all I can say is that this film is going to do very well. The director mentioned that it will be in some big festivals and I wouldn't be surprised if it became a festival favorite.

Thanks for this film guys.

Henry

touching in every level, 11 October 2006
10/10
Author: jasmineh05 from United States

The movie is different from all the other Hollywood movies in an extremely beautiful way. It makes you love life and realize that bad things happen to all, even a sweet and innocent girl, but life goes on and for the sake of the loved ones that you lost you must go on and live life to the fullest. The movie was very touching, made me cry, yet the unexpected funny parts made it more real and natural. I loved all the characters, the script and the ending...the ending couldn't have been written any better. Although there isn't much action in the movie, it passed by so fast. The audience is constatnly being surprised by an addition of a new plot...ex: the police officers life, the liquir stores owners life, the life of Muriel's daughter and the teenager's parents. All these characters had lost something great, but they all live life because they have each other, because they have sholders to cry on, because they have one another to lean on, or simply because they have to be strong for the others. LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! Hollywood is long overdue for a movie like this.

Tomorrow is Today is Film Making at it's Finest., 4 June 2007
10/10
Author: milenaj-1 from United States

First, I must apologize if my comment comes off as too over the top. But how I feel about this movie is something I can not tone down! Tomorrow is Today is Film making at it's finest. I happened upon this film, through my membership to the Spiritual Cinema Circle, and I was blown away. It pulled me in and rocked me to the core. The beautiful, poetic, inspiring way this devastatingly heart wrenching story is told is amazing. The writing, direction, acting, cinematography--everything, is so powerfully moving there really are no words to describe it. I love a good cry, and that's just what this film evokes: a GOOD cry. For inter-weaved with the heartache & pain is hope, courage, and soul stirring inspiration. This movie has the biggest heart of any I've ever seen. I TRULY hope to one day see it on the big screen, because that is exactly where it belongs. Tomorrow is Today is a first-rate film that everyone should have the opportunity to experience.

wise movie, 31 August 2006
10/10
Author: jmusika

Beautifully filmed and wonderfully written. So much wisdom! So inspiring it moved me to tears. Each of the characters were believably human with all their imperfections and selfishness while having underlying good hearts. This film conveys the reality of good will humans have for each other. The writing was rich, yet natural for the characters. I was informed that the entire movie was filmed using 1 (one) $4,ooo Sony camera, filmed in 16 days! So inspiring to see what can be done with a small budget... convinces me that movie making should be viewed in it's art form. I'm a musician who greatly enjoys seeing something done artistically. Really glad that this film came to the festival in Montreal. I hope to see it again! Amazing, dedicated talent.

This movie really touched me, 20 August 2006
10/10
Author: serenagreening from United States

I was as moved by this film as I was by "Love Story". The real life experiences touched me greatly. Superb acting by the entire cast produced a first rate film. The camera work was fabulous as was the editing and directing. I really felt captured by the emotion of the events and could relate to the various twists and turns. The casting was really superb. All the actors were well suited for their roles. Several succeeded in making me dislike them and a few really tugged at my heart strings. I was particularly moved by Scout Taylor-Compton's youthfulness and her naive approach to major drama. Mark Hefti played his drifter role with a candor that makes the role believable.

An Amazing Film, 20 August 2006
10/10
Author: George T. Marshall (flicksart@aol.com) from United States

When I first saw the screener for Tomorrow is Today, I knew that I had an exceptional film on my hands. I immediately set up a special screening for our festival program committee and the film was quickly accepted into the 10th Anniversary of the Rhode Island International Film Festival. The film had its World Premiere at RIIFF.

This is a powerful and moving motion picture that is exceptionally well-constructed and written. Kudos to the director, writer and cast for a film that did not leave a a dry in the house with its premiere presentation. I have heard repeatedly how powerful the film was from those who attended (not a surprise as I witnessed those leaving--most of whom sat through the end credits.) As the film begins its festival journey we here at the Rhode Island International Film Festival are proud to have presented the first screening of such an extraordinary film.

Great Film, 25 July 2006
10/10
Author: supergetz from United States

My friends and I are putting on a film fest here in my hometown and I'm on the prescreening committee so I got to be one of the chosen few to decide if we wanted it in the fest. I was kinda taken a-back at first because of the film being a "chick flick" but by the end of the movie I was hooked! The writer Mark Hefti does an amazing job of sucking you into the story! Making a few I immediately told my friend "Beg Frederic Haubrich to come to Iris!" The movie didn't have any huge Hollywood names in it, no over the top special effects, or no big Hollywood budget but it was one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. I recommend that if you get the chance go and watch this movie. I swear "on the eyes of my grandchildren" you will not be disappointed. Scout Taylor-Compton puts in a pretty awesome performance as Julie. The girl had me in tears by the end of the film...seriously I'm 6' 280lbs and I was sobbing like a little girl with a skinned knee! No joke man I had to hide my face so my friend wouldn't make fun of me. Anyway I just wanted to give one last praise to Mark Hefti and Frederic Haubrich for making an awesome film and for coming to a couple of young movie lovers tiny town to talk at an even smaller film fest. You guys are awesome!!!

Surprisingly Good!, 6 June 2007
10/10
Author: Jordan C from U.S.A.

OK, this is not my typical genre, but my friend's mom made us watch this movie with her, and it was actually really good. It's not some fluffy chick flick. It seems realistic. Really good acting. The story kind of pulls you in. I can't believe this, but I loved it! Plus, Scout is hot. I would recommend it to anyone. I think it's a very human story, that most people will dig. There is so much pain that most people deal with at one time or another in life. This story shows how the various characters deal with the pain, and with what results. It has pretty sad moments, but there are also some funny parts, and at the end, it leaves you feeling strangely good. It just sucks that there's no where to get it right now.

Long story short... great film!, 16 August 2006
10/10
Author: Ryan Young from Santa Clarita, CA

It all started with viewing the trailer. "What an amazing looking picture!" I thought to myself. Finally, the time came to watch the film in its entirety... I don't think I've ever gotten the chills so badly as I did towards the end of the film. Everything in this production was grade-A. You really fall in love with the characters. It was really nice to see a movie that puts you in their place. What I mean is that the characters aren't too over the top, the town they live in is a normal location, and the whole story is possible. Thank you for putting out a movie that actually tells a great story and doesn't have to hide behind huge movie-stars or special effects. I wish the crew the best of luck with this one, and I can't wait to see what's next from you guys. BRAVO!

-Ryan

A Modest Affect, 5 September 2008
10/10
Author: verenaking from Las Vegas, Nevada

I was especially impressed with this film. It is enchanting and unpretentious. I fell in love with the characters about the same time they fell in love with each other. The love is innocent and beautiful. It is about emotional connection; not physical attraction.

Its low-key affect and ability to relate gives this film a lovable charm that a flashier production could never have achieved. It's deep and personal, yet uplifting and hopeful.

"Tomorrow is Today" makes a persuasive case that the real future of dramatic film may lie not in splashy grandeur, but in modesty and understatement.
