# Before Tomorrow

AI-made. Made with AI, as its festival says: “The 2026 edition of the Artefact AI Film Festival — an international competition for short films made with generative AI, organised by Artefact with mk2.” ([its page](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/), read 2026-11-12).

By Ameeth Ravjee, as [Artefact AI Film Festival](https://artefact-ai-film-festival.com/gallery) names them.

In the summer of 1982, three friends ride through their small town, imagining the technology that might one day change their lives. When Danny’s bicycle breaks down, their evening takes an unexpected detour into Walt’s repair shop.

As Walt works, the children’s playful predictions of tomorrow unfold alongside a simple act of kindness. Before Tomorrow is a nostalgic short film about friendship, human connection, and the things worth carrying into the future.
