What would you do if you could go back in time and change your life? Which regrets and mistakes would you fix? What would your life look like now? In Future Proof—a romantic comedy/drama filled with love, tears and laughter with an accompanying original musical soundtrack—an experimental medical treatment goes wrong which allows Sam Harris to do exactly that. He starts by standing up to the kids who bullied him at school and then sets about trying to fix the mess he made of the rest of his life. However, as he discovers, changing his past doesn’t always guarantee a brighter future. —based on publicity material
Based on previous experience, Kennedy expected me to wilt and start bawling. Why wouldn’t he? That’s what always happened. Why would he expect me to run up and boot him so hard in the goolies that I wouldn’t have been surprised to see them pop out of this mouth as he opened it to scream? He crumpled to the floor, and his mate Derek, who stood gaping, got the same treatment.
