Hot Tomorrows is a 1977 American Film Institute student film, written and directed by Martin Brest. The film includes appearances from actor Hervé Villechaize and the theatre troupe The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, and is the only filmed example of a performance from the troupe apart from the film Forbidden Zone.[1] Orson Welles provides the voice for a radio ad for a funeral home.
Filming was completed in December 1975 by the then 24 year-old Brest, however it took an additional two years to raise funds required to complete post-production, for a total final budget of $33,000.
Plot[edit]
A young New York City writer who has moved to Los Angeles spends his days exploring his obsession with death.
