Relax, I'm from the Future is a 2022 Canadian sci-fi comedy film, written and directed by Luke Higginson[1] and starring Rhys Darby and Gabrielle Graham.
Casper is a time traveller from the future who arrives in the 2020s in an attempt to escape his boring and lonely life in the late 22nd century, intending to finance a comfortable and inconspicuous existence through knowledge of future sporting events and lottery results.
He befriends Holly, a queer black woman whom he draws into his plans so that they can make quick money.
The film is an expansion of Higginson's 2013 short film of the same name, which starred Zachary Bennett as the time traveller and Rick Roberts as Percy, a man whose preparations to commit suicide the traveller interrupts with the news that Percy isn't in the place where he's supposed to die.
[3] Relax, I'm from the Future premiered at the 2022 Fantasia Film Festival[4] and was commercially released on September 22, 2023.
