Director Statement

With its depiction of climate change and climate-related global immigration, LAND OF TOMORROW offers a glimpse at the challenges of tomorrow while offering a message of hope for today. When the world is at its end, the most important thing is not survival, but compassion for your neighbor.

Equality in front of and behind the camera is incredibly important to us. 63% of the crew of LAND OF TOMORROW identify as female, both in above-the-line and below-the-line positions. Our film also features a strong female protagonist, as well as complex supporting characters of color.
