Happy Accidents
Sometimes the future is better than it used to be.
Directed by Brad Anderson
Produced by IFC Productions, Accidental Productions
A playful romantic comedy that uses time-travel absurdity to explore trust and commitment in a contemporary New York relationship.
A comedy that pays tribute to the science fiction genre -- specifically, the sub-genre of time travel. But here the alternate reality is contemporary New York City where past and future experiences of trust, commitment and denial are cleverly put to the test. Just as Ruby is beginning to relish her first-ever healthy relationship, Sam begins muttering about being a time traveler from the year 2470.
