Mission Statement

To tell a powerful thought provoking story about what draws us together, flaws & all, what love can look like at any age and why we play emotional games in our search for significance. A couple struggles to reconnect as they dissect their past and scrutinize the pros & cons of a new future together.

The Story

Beginning Tomorrow tells the story of a couple trying to rekindle an old flame to create a future together. They spend one magical night reminiscing about the past to determine if they're better off together or apart. As the story unfolds they tell truths, exchange lies, make romantic advances, take an exhilarating drive in a classic convertible through the Hollywood hills, and make pasta Bolognese from scratch, but as we peel back the layers, what’s keeping them from rekindling the flame stares them in the face. 

Rekindling an old flame at any age can be a struggle... but certainly a fun one!

Visually the film will have an elevated feel and begin with notes of romance; warm and colorful, elegant and sensual, real life never felt so good or looked so appealing. But as we reveal what's beneath the surface and see the facade cracking a darker cooler color pallet will help to reveal this couple’s failed attempts to reconnect.


Mirrors, windows and other reflective surfaces will play a key role in the visual language of the film by allowing us to look inside the mind of a character in private moments, see them speak to themselves in a mirror in a room alone, or watch a character through the glass to create an emotional disconnect and voyeuristic image, then rack focus to the outside world. 

Audiences who have enjoyed these movies, the new series "Run", the old classic movie John and Mary, or the Before Sunrise trilogy will be thrilled to add Beginning Tomorrow to their film library.


Lisa LoCicero Actor/Producer: Known for her long standing role as Olivia Quartermaine on General Hospital, Lisa will be playing our leading lady. Lisa's career spans 3 decades and she will bring her deeply compelling emotion, her gravitas and years of on-camera experience to this project.

Jamison Jones Writer/ Actor/ Creator: Jamison is an actor across all mediums and brings three decades of film, TV and stage experience to this project. This is a deeply personal story and he will be bringing this film to life and to market with his passion, hard work and years of experience and his many personal and professional connections in the entertainment industry.

Leo Purman Director of Photography: Leo is an award winning international super-star of cinematography.


Craig Duncan Post Production: Craig likes to say he sells cheeseburgers, Cutters is the best at Commercial post, and Craig has made an art of selling those cheeseburgers, never settling for anything short of perfection. What a gift to have his team onboard.

Juan Pablo Arias Muñoz: is an award-winning Chilean writer and director based in Los Angeles, CA. His award-winning work has been exhibited at over sixty film festivals around the world including the New York Film Festival, AFI Fest and SITGES Fantastic Film Festival. Juan Pablo received an MFA in Directing from the AFI Conservatory.


We hope to raise our goal of $25,000 for production through a dedicated audience on Seed & Spark to cover the bare minimum costs of shooting the film. We're taking the experience we've gained from our 30+ years in the industry and assembling a team of passionate, talented collaborators to bring this project to life. Here is a breakdown:


 

Principal photography for Beginning Tomorrow will take place in Los Angeles, CA and is scheduled for June 2025.
