Last Call - TvFILM Season Finale!

Here's what's on tap this Sunday for the TvFILM season finale:

Know Candy

Mitchell is a successful lawyer, yet bored by the tedium of his work. His life takes a turn when he follows clues from a string of mysterious text messages.

The Universal
John W. Yost
John's Dad almost died from a motorcycle accident. The Universal is an experimental narrative that uses the idea of a time-traveling motorcycle to fulfill the part of John that can never go back and warn his father. Each piece is a small piece of the bigger puzzle and it is up to the audience to fill in those gapes of space and time with their own experiences.
