We are delighted to have Austin's own filmmaker-laureate Kevin Ford be live in person to present his new film WHEN IS TOMORROW at the Alamo Ritz! The film, which was shot in Austin, is hot off the festival circuit and ready to come home. But it gets even better! He's going to bring along some his MO FREEK friends from the film to help us celebrate!
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 co-star/producer Angela Bettis (MAY, ROMAN) for a very special Austin screening of this highly acclaimed film!
Before the Saturday show, Eddie Steeples will perform a 30 minute stand-up comedy set and following the film will join Kevin and Angela for a Q&A session.
Check out what these certified experts have to say about WHEN IS TOMORROW:
"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."
- 2008 Bradford International Film Festival, UK
"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
"This movie is about as indie as you get. Shot on digital video in
Austin, Texas with a small crew... it maintains a tight focus on its
central characters and relationship at all times. WHEN IS TOMORROW is a good little movie,
not overly ambitious but not exceptionally lightweight, either. It's
a fine example of what independent films do well."
