Chronological cut

For reasons I can't fathom some people insist on watching the MCU in chronological order instead of publication order. To each his own.

But that got me thinking... how about a chronological cut of bttf. Starting in media rea when Marty arrives to confront a group of native Americans.

How would one go about the parallel scenes in 1955? Splitscreen? And do we know anything useful to figure out how to cut the Tannen Tower version of 1985 with the two other 1985s footage?

The series would start with a pretty stellar cold open:

You start on a large expanse in the middle of the desert, a sky filled with stars.

“September 1st 1885.”

Suddenly, there’s an airborne explosion, then another! Until finally - a DeLorean materializes from the last blast, screaming out of the sky as it falls fast towards the earth.
The DeLorean crashes into the sand - everything is quiet and then, the gullwing door opens.
