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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

I saw this film last week at it's world premiere at the Rhode Island
International Film Festival. I was so moved by the amazing writing,
acting and of course, directing. I haven't seen a film so well done as
this one in a long time, independent or mainstream. There was not one
character that you couldn't relate to or empathize with. Usually I am
only able to find one, maybe two characters to like in a good script,
but Mark Hefti's innovative writing along with Frederic Lumiere's
dynamic direction helped me connect with every single character. After
watching this film, I stepped out of the theater for some fresh air and
then returned to catch a brief portion of their Q & A. Again I had to
leave because I was so moved by all aspects of this story. Tomorrow is
Today was the perfect title to such a fantastic film. This movie has
restored my faith in finding love after loss and heartbreak. This is a
must see by film lovers everywhere.

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!
