This site focuses on the film JUMP TOMORROW, written and directed by Joel Hopkins. The film stars Tunde Abimpe, Natalie Verbenke and Hippolyte Girardot and was produced by Nicola Usborne. It is based on Hopkins' thesis short film "Jorge" which also starred Tunde Adebimpe.

JUMP TOMORROW tells the story of George Abiola, an uptight clerk who is to be married to family friend Sophie.

When George misses Sophie at the airport ("You got the day wrong?"), things get more complicated. Not only is he invited to a party by the beautiful Alicia, but he also befriends a struggling Frenchman, Gerard, who has just been dumped.

A charming and hilarious tale of romance, friendship and learning to live your dreams and open yourself up to the possibilities of life, JUMP TOMORROW is a movie that everyone should see.
