“You’re a very disappointing time traveler.” Blue Fox Ent. has revealed an official US trailer for an indie sci-fi comedy from Canada titled Relax, I’m From the Future, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Luke Higginson. The film premiered at a few festivals in Canada earlier in 2023, and is now set to open in art house theaters in the US later this month. A man from the future, now trapped in the past, tries to make a life for himself, oblivious to the consequences he has set in motion. Rhys Darby stars as Casper, who is now in his “past”, our present, who teams up with a nonconformist skeptic to bring about his “plan” of saving the world. The cast also includes Gabrielle Graham, Julian Richings, and Janine Theriault. It looks like a properly wacky indie creation that seems just goofy enough to be mostly enjoyable. Have fun.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Luke Higginson’s Relax, I’m From the Future, from YouTube:
Casper (Rhys Darby), a charming but underprepared Time Traveller, is trapped in the past. He befriends Holly, a jaded drifter, who helps him exploit his fairly trivial knowledge of the future for a series of quick payouts. When 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. Relax I’m From the Future is both written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Luke Higginson, making his feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously. Based on Luke’s own 2013 short. Produced by Tim Doiron and James van der Woerd. This initially premiered at the 2023 Victoria Independent Film & Video Festival earlier this year, and at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival. Blue Fox Ent. will debut Relax, I’m From the Future in select US theaters starting on September 22nd, 2023 this fall. Who’s interested?
