Logline:
In a fractured world where war, division, and destruction reign, an elf burdened by visions of humanity’s collapse must decide if sacrificing her people’s fading magic can save mankind—or if the future is destined to repeat its darkest history.

Writer/Director's statement:
always been drawn to worlds where magic, ancient wisdom, and epic journeys can transport us beyond our everyday realities. But as much as I adore the genre, I’ve often felt that there aren’t enough fantasy projects being developed today, particularly those that reflect the real-world issues we face. That gap inspired me to create "In the Wake of Tomorrow"—a short film that merges the escapism of fantasy with the pressing conflicts of our modern world.
This story is deeply rooted in my love for Tolkien’s work, where elves represent a higher, more harmonious existence, and humans are driven by powerful, often destructive emotions. Through this project, I wanted to explore the ways that the very things dividing us—race, politics, and religion—could be examined through the lens of fantasy. By doing so, I hoped to craft a narrative that feels both timeless and urgently relevant.
At its core, "In the Wake of Tomorrow" is about the struggle between hope and destruction, about individuals faced with the ultimate choice to sacrifice for the greater good. While the setting is fantastical, the heart of the story reflects the challenges we face in our world today—challenges of division, power struggles, and the desperate search for unity.
I believe that fantasy has the unique power to explore difficult topics in ways that are imaginative, thought-provoking, and accessible to a wide audience. Through Eldara's journey, I hope viewers will see a reflection of our own struggles and be reminded that, even in the darkest times, there is always a flicker of hope.
