SYNOPSIS



There aren’t always the perfect words to make it better for Adam, a 20 something young man, has to endure right now. He feels his father is overbearing over him, while his mother is trying to do her best to support her son through his dark moments.

​The words are insightful to others who aren’t struggling, but the stress not living up to his father's expectations and feeling like a failure is so overwhelming for Adam.

So, why not just make the struggles to go away quickly?



THE SCRIPT



The script of TOMORROW NEVER CAME, is 2nd of the trilogy and loosely based from Bryan's days of the event in 1988 in the fall semester as the news from University of Virginia passed through George Mason University's Vietnamese club.


Through researched on line Bryan found an article "The Words My Father Said To Me When I Was Suicidal" a memoir by Chris Lee (The Mighty, Yahoo!). He reached out to Chris, asking permission to use some parts of the article into the screenplay.

The title comes from Bryan's love and the fan of Justin Lin's Sundance Film Festival BETTER LUCK TOMORROW and Roger Ebert's favorites in 2002. It has no similarity with characters or plot, and the only match is likely the title TOMORROW.
