Experiencing Interruptions?

Press Conference: The Time Machine

In a shocking and surreal press conference, a smug and authoritarian president unveils the results of the world's first time travel experiment. When a daring journalist, Sónia Toledo, asks a probing question about the risks of altering history, the president gleefully uses the technology to erase her from existence before the stunned eyes of the press corps. His terrifying demonstration silences the room, leaving the audience with an eerie realization: absolute power in the hands of a madman knows no limits.

Darkly comedic and chilling, "Press Conference" explores the dangers of unchecked authority and the abuse of groundbreaking technology.
