Are you afraid of death? According to statistics, two people on earth die each second. Die Tomorrow zeroes in on the last day of its protagonists, each of whom have no idea of their fate. The film picks up on six everyday situations and turns them into moving stories. With true lightness of touch, director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit forges shots that play out over considerable time and then combines them with documentary-like interview footage, news reports, sound recordings, statistics and archive material, thus creating an elaborate essay. In view of what is about to happen, small snatches of conversation take on dramatic dimensions for the viewer. The film succeeds in putting across its weighty topic in a manner at once entertaining and serious, even though in the time it takes to watch the film, statistics says that 8,442 people will have died – as well as another 120 in the time it takes to read this text. Death seems distant, but it is never far away, those afraid of it fear life as well. Die Tomorrow inspires reflection: about death but much more about the important, beautiful moments of life – and their fleeting nature.

from Pan Asian Film Festival 2014
(page link)
Portraying a character struggling to make sense of her life as it threatens to spin out of control, Nawapol’s brilliant second film creates an inventive narrative of an uncontrollable life through a brilliantly modern artistic concept: to adapt a Twitter stream into a fictional film.

The director used 410 real Tweets from an anonymous girl as a springboard to create a fantasy world of a contemporary Asian teenager, and the results are funny and strange, a conflation of modern Thai teenage life, Wes Anderson-esque humour, and the possibilities for escape offered by the digital world.

from International Film Festival of Rotterdam 2014

A cheerful title for a playful, jittery film. The story of schoolgirl Mary jumps around all over the place, because the filmmaker based the story on tweets by a real young teenage girl. Confused, but incredibly witty, fun and very freely acted. A Twitter comedy.

Take the Twitter feed of a random teenage girl – 410 tweets, to be exact, verbatim, without skipping any and without changing the sequence.
For his second feature, Thai director Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit (whose feature debut was in the Tiger Awards Competition last year) decided to forge a new narrative from this stream of random, often meaningless fragments of a life into a new narrative. The story that emerges is that of Mary, who is grappling with the vicissitudes of life in her senior year of secondary school. She squabbles with her best friend Suri, with whom she is compiling the yearbook, and she falls in love with the mysterious M.
The texts on screen – roughly two sentences a minute – determine the jumpy editing, so during the first half hour Mary gets involved in all kinds of capers, from buying a squid to an unplanned trip to Paris. Along the way, however, Thamrongrattanarit is able to cram a surprising amount of emotion into the story.
