The first 50 people who attend today's screening of the documentary BEYOND TOMORROW will receive one of these amazing film strips! 😮

In 1964, a GE space artist illustrated a book called Beyond Tomorrow: The Next 50 Years in Space. The unforgettable images in that book shaped how Americans imagined their own futures in space, inspired generations of space artists, and influenced films from Future Shock (1972) to Interstellar (2014). 5x Alumni (!!!) and Screenwriting Director Brett Ryan Bonowicz continues his excellent and necessary work chronicling futurist illustrators, taking us this time behind the scenes of the life and art of Roy Scarfo.⁠
