About this project

Tomorrow is Chananun Chotrungroj’s second year film in the graduate film program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Chananun was inspired to make the film after reading a short story, ‘Dao Duek Dam Ban,’ by celebrated Thai author, Prabda Yoon. The production is supported by the NYU faculty, which includes award-winning filmmakers such as Spike Lee, Todd Solondz, Alex Rockwell and producer Margaret M. Rajski.

Story:
Ron is a burglar in New York who spends his time sipping espressos at a coffee shop while studying the movements of the wealthy Kean family that live across the street. Having watched the household for months, Ron has become very familiar with their daily routines and personal habits. Every Saturday, Ian Kean, a successful movie producer, takes his wife, Ellen, and the kids out for a formal family dinner followed by a movie. Armed with this knowledge, Ron decides to rob the house during their outing. He waits until the family leaves the house and then carries out his perfect plan. Ron breaks into the Kean home easily and begins to look for valuable items. While searching for jewelry in the rooms, Ron takes his time, leisurely sorting through and re-arranging the family’s personal belongings. Suddenly, he hears the family return home unexpectedly. Ron quickly hides in the bedroom closet as he hears them come in. While he tries to devise an escape plan, the door bell rings. An unexpected guest changes everything.

Process:
As an NYU student film, the production of this film has been made possible through the school's camera, sound and grip equipment, as well as insurance and post-production facilities. However, all other expenses such as location rental, transportation, production and costume design, food for cast and crew and marketing and promotions for the film would have to be provided for entirely by the director herself. 

As a student in one of the most expensive cities in the world, Chananun lives on an extremely tight budget. Any funds you are able to donate, no matter how big or small, will be a tremendous asset to the production of the film. The funds will also allow Chananun to properly market the film with a website while providing for application expenses for entering the film into national and international film festivals and competitions.
