“Tomorrow’s Today” continues to sweep awards at festivals across the globe, and it is in part due to the subtle and cool artistic talents of Actor-Comedian, Teddy Smith.

Director Timothy Hines reflects on his meeting Teddy Smith, When comedian turned movie star Greg Kritikos and producer Dominick Martini first introduced me to Teddy Smith I had no idea how talented he was, how, when he auditioned for the part of detective Frank, that he would not only nail the part but bring facets of light and emotion to the role that was way beyond the well crafted script by Frederick Stroppel and Greg Kritikos. I saw Teddy do his stand up act some time later and I was in stitches. A comedian has to ride a fine line in expressing and exposing sometimes painful truths and also show the audience the absurdity in things. I have always felt the true difference between sanity and insanity is the ability to laugh at ourselves, our troubles, our frailties. Teddy is a master of this.”

“Tomorrow’s Today” is a comedic recovery story about Charlie Boy, a hopeless grifter trying to reform his ways, who collides with his loser friend named Tommy G who thinks he’s a dead ringer for Tom Hardy. They rob a liquor store to pay a gambling debt to a mob boss; only to find out the store is owned by the mobster! The more they try to fix it, the more it unravels as an innocent widow and her son are dragged into the mob boss’ focus. Teddy Smith plays a cop trying to get the petty thugs to do the right thing.

Timothy Hines adds, “We became friends beyond the set in that we share a particular optimistic view of kindness toward our fellow human beings. When I filmed with Teddy his performance was a joy and as we were shooting I knew I was capturing gold. To see him and the hilarious Greg Kritikos bounce off of each other; it was priceless to watch them click in masterful synergy. One of the funniest scenes in the movie is when actor Peter Plano and Teddy are on a stakeout and Peter is trying to get Teddy to try his wife’s homemade egg salad sandwich. The scene was entirely improved but was side split-tingly funny. When you see the film you can see the handheld camera slightly shaking from the laughter.”

Producer Susan Goforth agrees, “Audiences are loving Teddy. Big things are coming for Teddy Smith.”

The cast of “Tomorrow’s Today” is led by stand-up comic/actress Joanne Scorcia who was the last comic to headline at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles before it had to shutter its doors due to COVID-19. The cast includes Dave Morrissey Jr., Annunziato Carbone, Nicky Sunshine, Pascal Yen-Pfister, Teddy Smith, Heather Cole, Colin Buckingham, Dave Cremin, George N. Mikedis and Greg Kritikos.
