Relax, I'm From The Future

description

RELAX, I’M FROM THE FUTURE follows Casper (Rhys Darby, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS), a charming, but embarrassingly underprepared Time Traveller, now trapped in the past.

When Casper befriends Holly (Gabrielle Graham), a jaded drifter, she helps him exploit his trivial knowledge of the future for a series of quick payouts, oblivious to the consequences they have set in motion. When Doris (Janine Theriault), a more competent Time Traveller, tracks them down, Casper and Holly are forced to figure out what they mean to each other and whether the future they’ve threatened is even worth saving. Will they embrace their fate, or do they have the courage to change it? RELAX, I’M FROM THE FUTURE is the feature directorial debut from Writer/Director/Editor Luke Higginson, based on his short film of the same name that premiered at TIFF in 2013.
