In 1997, a classified ad appeared in Backwoods Home Magazine, asking for a companion to time travel and warning that the person's safety wasn't guaranteed. Years later, the ad became an Internet meme. Now, the story comes to life in 'Safety Not Guaranteed.' In the movie, Mark Duplass plays Kenneth: the man who placed the ad. Intern Darius is told to gain his trust and find out the story behind the story. Gradually, Darius begins to warm up to Kenneth and as she's drawn into his fantasy world, she realizes that there's more to him than just a kooky magazine classified ad. 'Safety Not Guaranteed' also stars Kristen Bell, Karan Soni and Mary Lynn Rajskub.

'Safety Not Guaranteed' debuted as the 2012 Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews, and it was nominated for the prestigious Grand Jury Prize. First-time director and 'Safety Not Guaranteed' writer Derek Connolly won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the Festival.

Bridget: "Writers: Does anybody have an idea for a story?"
Jeff: "How about uh, this time travel ad? Guy writes a classified that reads: 'Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.' I want to find this guy, see if maybe he believes in this stuff, I don't know I think it could be funny."
Bridget: "You want to do it?"
Jeff: "Can I get a couple of interns to help me with the research."
Darius: "I'll do it. Me. Too, please. Me."
Jeff: "Alright, give me the lesbian and the Indian and I've got a story."

Jeff's decision to dig into the back story behind Kenneth's time travel ad proves fortuitous, as does his choice of the two interns, hipster Darius and computer geek Arnau. Together, the trio will find out that things aren't always as they seem. What seems totally crazy, sometimes isn't.
