Our politicians pay lip service to it. Our technology is indifferent to it. Our commerce despises it. Nonetheless, it is the weightiest and most important thing to think about. Spirit. The living force. The soul. Srila Prabhupada wrote that society's most vexing and painful problems could be redressed by simply realizing who we are: individual, eternal loving beings. Today, this type of knowledge is rarely found; those who practice this knowledge, rarer still. Can a coherent, stable, unified culture be created out of people of diverse traditions, languages, and religions? Can human beings go beyond their superficial differences and work together in a spirit of cooperation? For Tomorrow leaves aside these bigger questions, focusing instead on a typical day in the life of 12-year-old Mayapur Gurukula student Purushottama and his school-friends. Through training, introspection, and perseverance, the boys set aside their differences to serve a common transcendent purpose: giving pleasure to the Supreme Person, Sri Krishna. Puru's typical day turns out to be not so typical after all, as he gains an experience which will forever alter the lens through which he sees the world. __________________________________________________________________ CREDITS Starring Purushottama Pokhrel Radheshyam Pokhrel Krishna Swarup Pokhrel Students and Staff of the Bhaktivedanta Academy Gurukula, Mayapur Written and Directed by Jagannath Kirtan Das (JP Lew) Directory of Photography Dhira Krishna Das (Dan Karpinsky) Sound Design Agni-Pana Krishna Das (Rohan Kumar Saha) Foley Artists Balarama Briant Ananta Gaura Das (Andre Nikolic) Animation Life Studio, Moscow Daria Vasko Ekaterina Vasko Fedor Sirkov Yakov Homich Arina Grudina Sergey Antonua Edited by Dhira Krishna Das Jagannath Kirtan Das Post-production & Coloring Jagannath Kirtan Das Voice-over Director Sri Nama Vanamali Das Music Ananta Gaura Das, “Out Of Here” Zero Bedroom Apartment, “Life in The Mine” The American Dollar, “DEA” Christian Henson, “Evolutions” Special Thanks to Bhaktivedanta Academy HH Bhaktividya Purna Swami Priti Vardhana Das Sri Madhava Gauranga Das Radhe Dhama Krishnanamananda Das Yashashvini Devi Dasi Dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C.
