Timewasters (2017)

Comedy · Drama

A struggling four-piece South London jazz band find themselves transported back in time to the 1920s and 1950s via an elevator in a dilapidated block of flats. Met with stares and curiosity in the past, the group hilariously navigates the clash of cultures and social conventions all while exploring worlds that are both incredibly familiar and painfully foreign.
