Set in a near future, Kevin, a young scientist haunted by his childhood memories, attempts to construct a time machine that brings him back to his past. After numerous setbacks, the machine springs to life! But to his surprise, the machine takes him to a realm saturated with pictures of his adolescence, where his memories had become toxic to the core of his true self. Kevin attempts to enter each memory, but cannot bare seeing his younger self burdened with the suppression of his true identity. With a new way to assure and be the hero to his younger self, he is determined to change the story that had already been written.

TIME BEFORE KEVIN

In this raunchy and outlandish queer comedy, best friends Robby and Noah-Lee – employees at Portland's historic Clinton Street Theater – find themselves confronted by a parade of increasingly wacky, genre-tinged suitors.
