With both of us now based in Africa (Carl in SA, Toufic in Namibia) it was only a matter of time before After Tomorrow would receive its African premiere.
The grand event took place on Wednesday 23 Nov 2016 at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre in Windhoek.
Toufic was in attendance and reported that the place was jam-packed. It probably helped that he was interviewed on the radio earlier in the day to hype it up. The venue even had to bring in more chairs to accommodate everyone.
After the screening he was inundated with questions, and the responses were overwhelmingly positive. There even seems to be demand for an expansion of the story to cover the hard times the Bedouin are going through these days thanks to the tourism industry suffering in the Middle East.
Having watched the film countless times, we’ve both come to realise that we have an undiscovered gem on our hands. We never get bored of seeing it, and although it’s not for everyone, audiences do tend to take plenty away from it.
As such… we’ll be making a big announcement in a few days. Stay tuned…
