With The Secret Life of Tommy Blackwell, we are still indecisive about whether or not the piece is actually set in the 60s or not. There are two possible endings, one for each of mine and Jacks opinions on the film. It was awkward for us to decide whether or not the piece is set in the 60's as there are so many modern day technologies that got in the way of our piece for example T'Vs and phones, and being amateur film makers we are unable to avoid modern day occurances, such as being able to move the road of cars. If he was living in the 60's the clothing and general mise-en-scene would be relevant to that time.
The first and most likely option is that he is living n the modern day, with modern technology, but still trying to live his life as if in the 60's. The clothes and technology that he uses would have to be historically correct for the 60's era, but creating this historical accuracy for one character is much easier than changing the whole piece into a 60's set piece.
On the other hand, it could be a 60's set piece as in the first two minutes we have filmed there are not many sightings of modern day technology in the piece.
