“22 improv actors perform characters based on regrets submitted by anonymous confessions. All of the characters vying for a promotional opportunity to go back in time. Three contestants will travel back to the moments of their regrets.”

Synopsis

Clearview Incorporated has perfected backward time travel, and is ready to send people BACK IN TIME. So far customers seem reticent. Is it the cost? The risk? The company offers a special promotional gig where people can go back to a key moment in their lives, and hopefully make peace with that moment in some way. Twenty-one regrets were submitted anonymously by real people and then performed and elaborated on by improvisational actors who played the people desperate to travel back to that one moment. The short film is a meditation on memory and regret and the ways that it keeps on shaping our lives.
