WHEN IS TOMORROW

|







Saturdays show is SOLD OUT! But another show has been added with Crabman on Sunday at 9:45 PM

Join writer/director/producer/editor/star Kevin Ford, along with star/writer/producer EDDIE STEEPLES (Darnell 'Crabman' Turner from TV's MY NAME IS EARL) and star/producer Angela Bettis (MAY, ROMAN) for a very special Austin screening of this highly acclaimed film!

"The best movie I've seen lately is WHEN IS TOMORROW, directed by Kevin Ford. It's a buddy film gone wrong, set in Austin, Texas. Made for no money, without big stars, computer-generated animation, aliens, explosions, or a single Transformer, it's a reminder that with some intelligence and skill you can make a simple story entertaining."

- Eric Schlosser, author of FAST FOOD NATION and REEFER MADNESS.

"Hats off to Schlosser for showcasing such a deserving, underexposed picture - a notably well-observed comedy of unease about two former best mates who meet up, after a five-year hiatus, the day before one of them gets married. But the bestselling author of FAST FOOD NATION isn't quite right in one respect: the film does actually feature a 'transformer' - an individual who has undergone a significant change or two. This is Ron (Steeples), who's achieved renown in Manhattan as a poet under the name 'Duke Eloquent' - and in the process has clearly grown up much more than his stoner-slacker pal Jake (writer/director/producer/editor Ford.) With married life imminent, the puppyishly energetic live-wire Jake is keen to have one last night of wild fun - and ropes a reluctant Ron/Duke into 'partying' around town. Complications - and confrontations - duly ensue.

WHEN IS TOMORROW (no question-mark, you'll notice) is an unashamedly - but enjoyably - dialogue-centric affair which, one particularly boisterous party sequence aside, is largely a claustrophobic two-hander about these two men who gradually realize they now have very little in common. Crucially, considering they're very seldom off-screen, Ford and Steeples - pals in real life, it's no surprise to discover, and both clearly set for rewarding careers - turn in a pair of rock-solid, smart, naturalistic performances, their frictions revealing much about the (ahem) explosive and unpredictable dynamics of friendship. It's the kind of subject matter that's invariably mishandled by Hollywood, and with which genuinely independent American cinema can often excel."

"WHEN IS TOMORROW is a brilliantly acted and photographed example of how the low-budget, DIY aesthetic can compliment a story when told by people who know what they're doing. BUFF alum Kevin Ford (PEOPLE ARE DEAD, 2005) and Eddie Steeples (TV's MY NAME IS EARL) are a joy to watch in every scene they occupy together-vividly bringing to life characters that are both hilarious and heartbreaking."
- 2007 Boston Underground Film Festival
