Traveling to the Future from Lockdown

March 2020. The world stops.

Empty streets. Closed doors. And one question floating through millions of homes: what do we do now? For Cinthia, the answer came as an unexpected invitation — a global call to action, launched by director Taylor Morden, to do something no one had attempted at that scale. Remake Back to the Future Part II — scene by scene — using whatever anyone had at hand, without leaving home.

• The project

The idea was as simple as it was ambitious: split the film into 88 scenes and find people from around the world to recreate them using whatever they had available during lockdown. Each team would have exactly one week to complete their segment. ComicBook.com The result brought together over 300 fans from nine different countries, with styles ranging from pro-level live action to animation, puppets, original music — and yes, even one scene performed entirely by bananas and potatoes. Bttftoo The number 88 was no coincidence. In the Back to the Future universe, the DeLorean needs to hit exactly 88 miles per hour to travel through time. Eighty-eight teams. Eighty-eight portals.

The result is an absurdly fun, wild ride that sees everything from pro-level live action to killer animation to... bananas and potatoes used to bring Back to the Future Part II to life all over again.
