Supported by Art Teacher Maggie Royle, five young women undertook a moving image skills program to produce Time Capsule DVDs. This featured Big Brother-style interviews, a video survey of the influence upon public opinion of media stereotypes of young motherhood, and roving video-diaries to find Mr Wrong & Mr Right based on cards produced by Bristol City Council to combat domestic abuse.

‘In The Future You Will See’ represents a genuine collaboration between the artist and the young women, made possible by inclusive, trusting relationships developed during the residency. The environment constructed for this particular conversation is familiar, the painting and film references are obvious, the degree of intimacy of the discussion is, however unexpected. Hughes introduces the subjects of love, sex, race and religion; these topics are debated with sincere moral passion and personal experience.' 

The film premiered at the Odeon Cinema in Broadmead Shopping centre, Bristol. The young stars arrived in a limousine to a rapturous reception from their schoolmates and children. Some thought the event an extension of the work due to the novelty of watching a film in a cinema with crying babies.
