Outline
Johnny is struggling to come to terms with the recent loss of his grandmother when he discovers a way to travel back in time to 1975 to say his final goodbye.
Treatment
Imagine that you’re a young man in your late teens. You’ve just started University and right now your biggest concerns are coursework, girls, and spots.
These were your biggest concerns until last week when your grandmother suddenly past away. Your Granddad is moving out of his old house as it has ‘too many memories’ and you (being the kind person you are) offer to help. You’re up in the attic picking up cobweb filled boxes of old records and photo albums when something catches your eye; an old leather bound case tucked away neatly in the corner. You walk towards it, brush off the dust with the palm of your hand and open it up. Inside you find an old super eight film camera.
Fascinated by the device, you run down from the attic clutching it in your hands and thrust it upon your granddad. He says it was your grandmothers. She was infatuated with it when she first got it, couldn’t put it down. But after a year or so new distractions came into her life and she’s never used it since. Your Granddad says you can keep it as he has no use for it now.
You take it home. Sitting cross legged on your bed you begin tinkering with your new discovery when suddenly a hatch pings open and you discover that there’s a used tape inside. It must be at least forty years old.
You get it developed and watch it with an old projector you borrowed. You see clips of a field during a hot summers day, close ups on flowers and insects and someone in the distance; far in the distance getting closer and closer. A young man, you think you recognise him but you’re not sure. then suddenly you realise…it’s you! You’re watching yourself on a forty year old piece of film and you look exactly the same as you do now…. and what’s even stranger yet is you’re dressed in exactly the same clothes too!
This could mean one of two things. Number one, you’ve finally lost the plot, gone mad, crazy…or number two, this is real. You’re about to travel back in time and see your grandmother one more time and by looking at your clothes you know it’s going to happen today.
