[NEohioPAL] Hero Tomorrow in Akron Thursday

[tsikora at commercialrecording.com]

We're finally returning to the original scene of the crimeWe're finally returning to the original scene of the crime. Thursday April 3rd at 6PM Hero Tomorrow will be opening the Akron Independent Film Festival. 

HT co-writer/co-producer Milo Miller and I met way back in 1988 at The University of Akron where we often joked about making a movie some day.   AS ALWAYS this will be the debut of yet another version of the film. Over the past six months I've learned a ton about color correction and different techniques for changing the mood and technical problems within scenes. Even though I'm truly - God knows - ready to be done with HT post production, I knew it would be an incredible disservice if I didn't go back to the workstation one more time and add some 'shrimp' to the Apama pasta.  
 

On the blog I've posted some examples of this, and there's also a link to the Hero Tomorrow TV interview from Thanksgiving with WVIZ's Dee Perry.

: : HERO TOMORROW SYNOPSIS : :

David, a struggling comic book creator from Cleveland, spends his days cutting grass and his nights smoking it while desperately trying to keep his superhero fantasies alive. When Robyn, his aspiring fashion-designer girlfriend, makes him a Halloween costume of his original character Apama, it doesn't take David long to hit the streets and begin blundering towards disaster. 

 

This comic book Don Quixote is characterized by surreal flourishes, mixing dream, fantasy, and flashbacks that borrow as much from the art house as the comic shop. A midnight movie for superhero fans.

 

Hero Tomorrow world premiered at the Comic Con International Film Festival in San Diego where it was the only narrative feature selected in the company of over 100 films.  It has since screened at Montreal's Fantasia, Cleveland International, Santa Fe, The Netherlands, IFP Chicago, and the North Texas Film Festival where it won best Cinematography, and Perren Hedderson won best actor.
