Director Statement

'Tomorrow' was a dream dreamt in a 2020 quarantine in Ecuador. While I usually make my music videos live action, 'Tomorrow' was impossible to make in the format. I set aside a budget for a drawing tablet, taught myself to animate, and then spent the better part of two years in a room by myself, bringing the characters you will see to life. May the short film take you away like my dream did me.
