The Tomorrow Project

In 2012, Reyes founded the Tomorrow Project: the independent campaign for President Barack Obama. The project was a way to energize the national voters that were primarily members of the millennial generation who were unemployed, amassed in student debt and felt lost due to the constraints of the 2008 financial crisis. The project centered on a film entitled "Tomorrow" which was a fictional account of a 21-year-old Barack Obama on the night he discovers he will become president, via a drug cocktail. It also depicts his visions of events that will occur in the future, such as the September 11th Terrorist Attacks and the Iraq War.[8] The film was to provide millennial voters with a personal connect with Barack Obama citing that he went through a similar crisis of fate that they are experiencing now.[9]
