The world is burning. An innocent man sits in jail. The laws of physics are unraveling… But it’s when the Campbells are suddenly reunited after 40 years that things get really weird. “Any Minute Now” by Alix Sobler is an 80-minute, mind-bending, dark comedy that explores what happens when one American family is brought face-to-face with past mistakes and a future that’s irreversibly doomed.
