What's Screening

Screening - Pack 1 - Feature Film

Future TX

Writers: Tim Clague & Danny Stack
Director: Radi Nikolov

‘Destiny is calling’

Future TX is a fun and fast-paced sci-fi thriller for all the family.

Two kids get their first mobile phones but they both receive a call from someone who claims to be from the future, and he needs the kids’ help if the world is going to survive.

At first, the kids (DYLAN and MOLLY, both 12ish) think it’s a prank call, but when the mysterious caller (known only as ‘Future TX’) proves that he’s genuine, Dylan and Molly agree to get involved. Their mission: to find a botnet that has initiated nearby in their area. Dylan and Molly must disable the botnet in their present before it becomes too powerful and destroys the future.

Our brave heroes follow various clues (and dodge the bad guys) to try to find the elusive botnet. There’s wheelchair-bound DOMINIC SANTIAGO (a modern Artful Dodger-type) who says he’s got a Future TX phone, too. But can they trust him as a new friend, or is he just someone who’s using them to get what he wants?

The main bad guy is FOLEY, the talented scientist behind the invention of the Future TX technology. From his point-of-view, Dylan and Molly are disrupting everything and ruining his life’s work. But can the kids find the botnet in time and save the day? Dammit, save the world?
