Time Capsule

Recommended by

  • Dan West: Time Capsule

    Camdenburg, IN is a town with an interesting history. And to acknowledge that history, Mayor Simkins (with the help of his earnest assistant and her oddball nephew) is about to reveal the contents of the towns 100-year time capsule to celebrate the town’s bicentennial. But what they find may change their hometown (and the world?) forever. This darkly funny, 10-minute science fiction comedy is a definite crowd pleaser.
