TIME CHASERS-1994-Nick Miller (Matthew Bruch), a dorky college teacher and amateur inventor creates a plane that can time travel but he needs more money to continue his research. Late at night he sees a TV commercial with the weird looking CEO of the conglomerate GenCorp and decides to contact them about his invention. He also invites Lisa (Bonnie Pritchard), a local reporter (and former girlfriend) to cover the story. Nick takes them into the future (it really doesn't look much different except for a few strangely clothed people and a hologram) and they have coffee. Later he meets the CEO and they agree to work together although Lisa warns Nick that it's not a good idea. Later they meet in a supermarket and have a romantic encounter after travelling back to 1957 (a great year for babies by the way...). They wind up in a post apocalyptic Vermont (where this was filmed) of 2014 and have to escape from gun toting survivors. Of course Nick's time machine is to blame. Well, actually it's the machine being abused by the evil CEO. The duo has to go back in time and prevent the GenCorp acquisition. Somehow the CEO follows after them and kills Lisa. Nick barely escapes when his plane crashes. But the crash then changes the past. Nick meets himself during the Revolutionary War in a shootout the evil CEO. One Nick is killed but the other lives to meet Lisa again in the supermarket after he destroys everything related to time travel.

This dumb movie (also known as TANGENTS) was made by then 20 year old director David Giancola in Rutland, Vt. He later made other movies including ICEBREAKER with Bruce Campbell.\

Thanks for reading!
