Project 88 is a quarantine inspired, fan-made remake of Back to the Future Part 2.

The idea was to split the movie into 88 scenes and find people from around the world to recreate those scenes using whatever they had on hand during the various stay-at-home and physical distancing guidelines that were in place at the time (March 2020). Each team was given 1 week to complete their scene.

We were blown away by the creativity that this spawned! We ended up with over 300 people from 9 different countries contributing to the project! This “movie” contains actors of all ages and experience levels (including some fun cameos from the original actors of Back to the Future 2), puppets, animation, original music, cats, dogs, and even one scene performed entirely by bananas.

The best part of this process is that so many people told us after completing their scenes, that it was the best part of their week, or that it helped them take their minds of all of the craziness that is going in the world for even just a few hours. We really hope you enjoy the “movie” and that maybe it inspired you to do something fun and creative as well!

None of us would be dedicating our efforts to remaking this movie if it weren’t for the amazing performance in the original film of Mr. Michael J. Fox. Please consider donating to the Michael J. Fox Foundation at any time to help raise awareness and find new treatments for this devastating disease. ▶ http://www.michaeljfox.org/donate/
