Overview
- Created by and starring Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, the feature expands their 2007 mockumentary and is now playing in theaters.
- The story hinges on the duo pretending to be time travelers who end up in 2008, with scenes built from archival footage to let them interact with their younger selves.
- The filmmakers describe a CN Tower sequence as a stealth shoot without permits that depicts a leap and skydive into a major baseball stadium, and they report hearing nothing from the tower since the film’s SXSW premiere.
- Johnson and McCarrol say they relied on fair use for pop-culture nods, including unapproved Back to the Future references and a recreated Alan Silvestri–style score rather than the original.
- They note the movie is hard to market and are leaning on trusted recommendations, while also revealing they have shot a third TV season drawn from a scrapped road-trip project.
