I saw After Tomorrow a couple of months ago and it has stuck with me since. I find that many short films try too hard to defy expectations by having some impacting, or subversive turning point and hope that that will stick with the audience. It is a testament to the director that After Tomorrow manages to pull this off and delivers a poignant finale, that, in lesser hands, would have risked coming across as trite. Kudos, too, should go to the performances, which deal with an important subject with great subtlety and tact.

I thoroughly recommend this beautifully shot, well structured film to anyone looking to learn something about making short films and hope to see more from this director.

Just the best short film I’ve seen EVER. Watching it was a really visceral experience – it’s a subject close to home for so many families…and you don’t know that this is the subject of the film until the very end. So clever. So classy. This director is one to watch out for.

I found this film incredibly touching. I can’t give away the story, but it was the first time I’d thought about a sense of terror and entrapment in this context. It’s also a theme which, within the next generation, will have affected every single person in this country.

I relished the unashamed portrayal of love and bewilderment that can’t be helped – in any sense – and it’s a film I’d like burned to DVD and sent to every home in the land (how’s that for blithe idealism?). If you haven’t seen it, you’ll probably understand why when you do.

I saw this as part of the Digital Shorts Screening and loved it. It’s a ‘twist’ film that actually works – it had me guessing right until the end. Great performances, classy editing and skillfully directed.

A friend took me to this film before christmas and I thought it was great. Totally agree with the comment that it begins to get irritating but then totally amazes with the reverse near the end. I won’t give the twist away but go see it, wherever you can.

I thought this was great – i was intrigued from the beginning. The whole style of the film made me think something weird was coming but i wasn’t sure what – it’s got a great sense of tension throughout. Someone get a link online so you can watch it yourself!
