Is tomorrow beyond the void? “Today“ by Andrew Jaksch Watch Andrew’s other film on DUST, “Thalamos“ - Connect with the Filmmaker: More About “Today“: Today is a film about an outwardly successful couple whose happy days are a thing of the past. They are caught in a vicious cycle, stuck in one time within dark impenetrable void. This is emblematic of the struggle that survivors of domestic abuse / violence face every day. What will Today bring? She constantly tries to keep the light in this relationship shining, to keep the dark at bay. He seems to think that putting a roof over her head entitles him to behave however he sees fit. He cannot sense the dark emptiness created by his control which follows him around and traps them without the means to move forward. He is as much a victim of his own behaviour as is she, but it’s her that suffers at his hand. Will she learn enough about the situation to see a way out, is tomorrow beyond the void? “Today“ Credits: Woman - Jessica Tanner Man - Tom Farrah Plumber - Tim Clarke News Anchor - Rohan Carlisle VO - Troy Larkin A Scanfilms production Director - Andrew Jaksch 1st AD - Melanie Killingsworth Producers - Melanie Killingsworth and Andrew Jaksch 2AD/PA - Laura Harris Cinematographer - Mark Kenfield Grade - Mark Kenfield 1st AC - Stephanie Parsons Editor - Shannon Michaelas Gaffer - Hannah Palmer Grip - Francis Healy Wood Writer - Philip Cristian Claassen Story by - Andrew Jaksch and Philip Cristian Claassen Costume - Caroline Jaksch Production design - Andrew Jaksch and Caroline Jaksch Practical Special Effects - Scott Robson and Andrew Jaksch News Broadcast production - Andrew Jaksch and Scott Robson Additional Writer/research - Scott Robson The Void VFX sequence - Ed Douglas Compositor - Rebecca Wells Original Score - Leon Ross Score Recorded at - Oracle Music Studios.
