House of Tomorrow
A sweet, tart, and intelligently life-affirming story of teenage friendship and outsider spirit with a supremely light touch.
The House of Tomorrow
Sixteen-year-old Sebastian Prendergast has spent most of his life with his Nana in their geodesic dome home tourist attraction where she raises him on the futurist teachings of her former mentor, Buckminster Fuller, in hopes that one day Sebastian will carry Fuller’s torch and make the world a better place.
But when a stroke sidelines Nana, Sebastian begins sneaking around with Jared, a chain-smoking, punk-obsessed 16-year-old with a heart transplant who lives in the suburbs with his bible-thumping single father Alan and teenage sister Meredith. Sebastian and Jared form a band and with his Nana’s dreams, his first real friendship, and a church talent show at stake, Sebastian must decide if he wants to become the next Buckminster Fuller, the next Sid Vicious, or something else entirely.

FEATURED REVIEW
Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
Awkward straight arrow meets broody rebel in 'The House of Tomorrow,' a confident and perfectly cast debut feature. Working from Peter Bognanni’s novel, writer-director Peter Livolsi has smoothed some of the source material’s edges, and the pieces tend to fit together a touch too neatly in a story ...
