Synopsis: A bored office worker is visited by a Salesman who gives him a pill which will take him back in time. The office worker takes the pill and wakes up in a hellish world wear he is tied up and about to be murdered. Before he dies however he suddenly wakes up back in his office, and realises he has travelled back in time. The camera then pans back to reveal that he is in just one of the many possible realities which was similar to his previous one. All except the hellish world which shows the office worker get murdered.
Genre: The genre will be satire, this was decided due to the low budget, which meant that I will not be able to employ professional actors, meaning I will have to make do with mediocre ones. However when working in the genre of Satire, a bad actor can add to the comedy of the project.
