In this new work by Film/Video Studio alums Jennifer Reeder and Nancy Andrews, a lonely astronaut confronts an awkward love triangle between her past, present, and future selves while isolated in a space station—where she may have been orbiting for years.
Conceived of by longtime friends Reeder and Andrews while the two were working as artists in residence in the Wexner Center's Film/Video Studio on their individual films Blood Below the Skin and The Strange Eyes of Dr. Myes, respectively, I Like Tomorrow is a sci-fi musical that combines live action and animation. As Reeder and Andrews recount, “after work one evening, over cocktails and possibly complaining about the then recently released film Gravity, there appeared a pen and a napkin and an idea about a lonely lady astronaut. From the start, the short film was conceived with actress Michole Briana White in mind. Its influences include Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon, Stanisław Lem’s Star Diaries, and Mary Roach’s Packing for Mars.”
The lonely female character on the edge of a world is a staple of Andrews’s work, and the complex relationships and messy love triangle draw from Reeder’s oeuvre. Both artists have a penchant for humor and White’s performance shows off her ability to create both gravitas and giggles. (11 mins., HD video)
Andrews and Reeder joined us this July for a virtual conversation about the project and its making; watch that for free on our blog and enjoy a presentation of the film above starting August 2.
