Tomorrow's Memoir is a 2004 short film written and directed by Jim Cliffe, and produced by Jim Cliffe and Kulchera Matson.
Jaded by a world which has deceived him, an older gentleman withdraws from society into a somber and lonely existence. When a crisis develops in his city, it soon becomes clear that he has led a more than unusual life. He is a man with secrets, bitterness, lies, and regret - and he's being watched.
In Film Threat's 2005 review, they wrote that Tomorrow's Memoir was "One of the most masterful interpretations of the entire superhero legacy." [1] Similarly, Moviehole wrote that the short film “…knock[s] the leg warmers off big screen efforts." Other positive reviews came from DC Comics and several independent online sources.
Tomorrow's Memoir received the award for "Best Comics-Oriented Film" at the 2005 Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival. [2]
