DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

Director

It has always been my aspiration to make a film happens at late night London, a place full of hustle and bustle, revelry and loneliness, ambition and despair, a city that people like it, hate it, lived it, and about to leave it. THE NIGHT BEFORE TOMORROW is a melancholy story starts from an encounter in a bus stop. Two strangers who being lost in different ways, they wander around the city for a whole night. This is about an unavoidable moment that we are afraid of tomorrow, and sometime don’t know where we are in the world, so we try to escape from the reality. We might meet someone who feels the same way with us. Then we could reveal our secrets, get to know each other and eventually prepare for the tomorrow we have to face.
