Production company Tomorrow has signed director Rodney Passé to its diverse roster of visionary talent. Passé, an esteemed filmmaker and contemporary artist, is known for a poetic filmmaking lens and lyrical cinematic voice.
A Brooklyn native, Passé’s work showcases stunning glimpses of humanity in a kinetic, intimate style. By artfully melding visuals, language, and sound, the filmmaker crafts emotive stories with staying power. His visceral, raw point-of-view and groundbreaking films celebrating Black normality and vulnerability have earned Passé an impressive client list that includes Apple, Google, Gucci, Indeed, ESPN, and Lincoln, among others.
Passé’s work has been exhibited at galleries and museums across the United States. His 2018 short film, “Where are the African Gods?” debuted at the UTA Artist Space in Los Angeles and screened at other leading institutions. The poetic film brings lyricist Abbey Lincoln’s words to life, while exploring the experiences of African Americans living in America. “Between Hell and Dreamstate” Passé’s upcoming solo art show presented by Alternative Options Workshop, is set to open in 2023.
Says Passé: “I’m beyond thrilled to join Tomorrow. They produce some of the most visually stunning work out there. I’m looking forward to this new journey and glad to be part of the team.”
Chris Zander, managing director at Tomorrow, says: “The way Rodney looks at the world and captures it on film…makes me smile. Surprises me. Challenges me. Makes me feel hopeful about the future, and makes me THINK. I love the man’s soul, and I’m thrilled we get to have his talents at Tomorrow.”
