Future Archives

A “Copperboat Productions” FILM
WRITTEN BY Jonny Hair

Fired from his job and in a doomed relationship, Joey wishes he could change his life
everyday.

When he reluctantly gets a new job sorting through deceased estates, he discovers an unwanted computer that allows him to receive emails from himself 3 months in the future.

He is advised there are rules:
i - He can only know what is going to happen in the immediate day,
ii - He only reveives one email a day from his future self, at precisely 5:03pm
iii - Once 3 months have ecclipsed he must copy the email he received 3 months ago and send it to himself 3 months in the past everyday at precisely 5:03pm.

Failure to follow these could result in an unknown catastrophe.

Joey soon discovers that this means he can only observe his immediate fate and is powerless to change his future. Also sending the emails to the past proves mundane and when he discovers his girlfriend cheating on him he hits rock bottom.

Constrained by his fate, 5:03pm ticks by one day and Joey decides not to send an email to his past.
Nothing happens.

The next day Joey bumps into his old High School crush LAURA. There is instant chemistry.
When Joey asks the time, it is ticking over to . . .

5:03pm.

Joey blinks and instantly the world and people around him have changed.
By not sending the email to his past, Joey changes his present and also alters his future.

He needs to get his world and time back in order. He wants to get Laura; he has to fix this.
Joey struggles through absurd and disturbing alternate realities, trying to fix time but only making it worse.
The final solution will reveal how much of Joey's happiness he will sacrifice.
