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 Obamaon 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. 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. ;Mexican Drug War Reyes is currently developing a charter school in Mexico. The school, presently called the Zapata School, is named after Emiliano Zapata, a Mexican revolutionary and after whom Reyes was named by his parents.
