Filmmakers of Tomorrow at Telluride Film Festival

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW will have its international premiere this Saturday at the 44th Telluride Film Festival in the 'Filmmakers of Tomorrow' program!

One of the world's leading film festivals, Telluride has hosted the world premieres of the likes of Moonlight, 12 Years a Slave, Juno and Argo—and we're one of just five students films selected from around the world this year!

Big thanks to Screen Australia for supporting us in making the trip over to the mountains of Colorado, USA, for our international premiere. Producer Alexandra George and I are both in attendance, and I will be taking part in a Q&A after our screenings.

As part of the announcement, we're also delighted to release our brand spanking new trailer... Enjoy!
