Tomorrow’s Promise

“Tomorrow’s Promise is a film about vacantness. Which physically does ‘begin’ reversed upside down on the screen […] suddenly another such position is taken (not in reverse) this time by a male figure and soon in this same section the girl of the reversed image reappears posed in a different way; a way obsessed by ‘mood’. Then a technical play of in-the-camera-editing occurs more intense brighter than in the first reversed section. There are several inter-cuts which serve in this and each subsequent section unto the end as relative links into the final section: which is actually the ‘story’. The story the protagonist and her hero try to tell in their way is apophysis; except that ‘pictures’ clear visions take the place of words. My film could have been edited with precise tensions and a lucid straight narrative but it was my aim to ‘re-create’ the protagonist of my personal life.” - Edward Owens
