Synopsis:

The video for David E Beats' "Maybe Tomorrow" is set in what could be assumed as a near future. The world has suffered a fallout, leaving its few survivors struggling to survive admist the nuclear winter and the human loneliness that follows. It follows David through tattered, decaying environments (a visual staple of many of Beats' imagery), including an abandoned hospital, a forest, a grain silo and the remaints of a beach. After burying his final friend, it is him till the end, struggling to remove himself from his past and focus on the future. In a world where all hope is lost, our protagonist must learn to be his own best friend, and let go of the things that are no longer, and that may get in his way.

From the Cinematographer, Kristopher Rey-Talley (Jackpot In The West Productions): "Since this was David's first major video, another aspect of it is the performance. Intercut is David performing, showing his skills as an Emcee and exhibiting his performance charisma. The theme behind the video was coming to terms with one's self and pushing on to the next level, the next challenge. Like a lot of David's work, we talked about ways to mix up the norm, the establishment, while still remaining familiar and approachable. The performance footage not only shows him off in this regard, but it also grounds the video in the hip hop world, whereas the science fiction narrative goes strongly against the rap video status quo, for it this duality and strivance for high quality and groundbreaking material that has made David a really great artist to collaborate with. This is the first in an exciting trilogy of videos. "Over Here"....Here we come. "
