60+ Students. 6 Days. 1 Story.
Behind every wedding is a cast of characters. Behind this one is an entire crew of students. Same Time Tomorrow is a thesis film created by over 60 Chapman University filmmakers, each bringing their own talent to make this not-so-typical wedding come to life.
Meet The Team

Brendan McGinley
Producer
Brendan McGinley is a senior Creative Producing major at Chapman and originally from Westport, CT. He is SUPER excited to work on Same Time Tomorrow and cant wait to spend plenty of late nights chugging away at this thesis project. His main hope as producer is that he can pull together not just this project but also a community through making it.

Ian Blom
Director
Ian Blom is a senior Directing major at Chapman University. Originally from San Jose, he spent a third of his life in the restaurant business, where his server pad doubled as an idea journal. He often draws on his background in ballroom dance to guide his filmmaking. That same love sparked this film, and he hopes you leave the theater inspired to move, groove, and let loose.

Nick Eickhoff
Writer
Nick Eickhoff is a senior Writing for Film and TV student at Chapman. He's originally from Royersford, PA, and this story was inspired by his high school geology teacher. With this film, he wants to bring fun back to storytelling... because we could all use a good dance once in a while.

Lauren Stiles
Director of Photography
Lauren Stiles is a senior Film Production student with an emphasis in Cinematography. Lauren is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio and loves everything football, hiking, and television related. She is super excited to shoot this project and bring such a timely story to life.

Cee Cee Johnson
Editor
Cee Cee Johnston is a senior at Chapman University, majoring in Film and Television Production with an emphasis in editing. She's stoked to be the editor of Same Time Tomorrow and is counting down the days until she can bring the story to life in the cutting room. More than anything, Cee Cee feels lucky to be part of this project and even luckier to collaborate with such an amazing crew.

Madi Hartzell
Marketing Director/Personality Hire
Madi Hartzell is a senior Public Relations, Advertising & Entertainment Marketing student at Chapman University. Originally from rainy Seattle, she came to sunny California to pursue her passion for film, marketing, and—most importantly—people. This team inspires her every day, not just as incredible filmmakers but as some of the best people she knows, with a story full of pure heart and fun to show for it.

Caleb Still
Composer
Caleb Still is a composer, producer, and songwriter in his final semester at Chapman University, where he studies film music and film studies. Based in Los Angeles, he is immersed in both creating and collaborating across film and music projects. Beyond the studio, Caleb loves skiing, and spending time with his wife and their cat.

Erik Lund
Production Designer
Erik Lund is a Junior Production Design major at Chapman university hailing from Park City, Utah. He is very intrigued to test just how far he can push a characters clock obsession until the director finally gives a harsh order to "cut it out". Beyond wanting to provide the best world he can for this awesome script, he yearns to, frankly, have a good little time on set (for the weekend he's not at an actual wedding).
