Synopsis
To impress a disenchanted client, a desperate group of lawyers hires an untested office temp to create a winning presentation -- overnight. The surprise results impact more than just the deal at hand. "Futures (and Derivatives)" has been called "an ode to the endless possibilities of office supplies" and gently celebrates beauty, New York City, and personal transformation, revealing the true and secret powers of PowerPoint.
