Private Project

The Time Traveling Cougar

Jennifer’s formerly-doting husband is growing distant, and as a result, her marriage is falling apart. She does what anyone in her situation would do: she builds a time machine to have an affair 25 years in the past with her (then much younger) husband. When she gets there, she discovers that the past isn’t quite how she remembers it; she and her husband-in-the-past hatch a plan to patch up both their present and future.

Director Biography - Haldean Brown

Haldean grew up on a farm in Ohio before moving to Antwerp, Belgium as a photography-obsessed pre-teen. He came back to the US to study Theater and Computer Animation in New York City, and worked various technical and creative roles in (off-)off-Broadway theaters before moving to San Francisco and working in the tech industry for almost a decade. Now he is an Oakland-based film director and a character artist at Pixar, and is particularly excited by stories about people's relationships to nature and the way technology both gathers and isolates us.
