You can ignore those notes in the description about months of editing. We all know that Devon actually achieved perfection in this film by using an actual 1-minute Time Machine, in the process murdering 743 other Devons and emotionally scarring the same number of Brian Dietzens and Erinn Hayeses. The final version was filmed in a single take.

I agree with The Hellsy. I would still be myself even if my past was greatly altered. I don’t know if that’s the case of most people but in my case, I believe it’s mostly big components of my life that defined who I am: My parents, my genes, my family, my country, the education system of my country, the culture of my country, etc. I would likely eventually have become the person I am today regardless of each individual event of my life. I don’t think my identity is the result of a chaotic system. I believe it evolved toward a stable state. I think the different stable states it could have reached are quite similar, and that it would have required great effort, great changes in parameters, to result in a different state. I think it’s cool.

Film school nerd here… I agree! There are a few things which make it stand out in the time travel genre. One is that the everything that happened before the guy sits down is completely ignored and fully accepted: how he made the time machine; the fact that it looks completely ridiculous up to labeling it “one minute time machine;” the fact that it works!; the fact that this seems to be the first time he tries it out, and the fact that it’s just one minute of time travel into the past. We as the audience never question any of that. There are so many other time travel and time loop films that start to fall apart or become distracting when the film gives too much attention to the time travel process, DeLorean, hot tub, magic cave. It’s just a red button on a box that goes back a minute. No questions asked! And her explanation is about as simple and clear as any ever given in a sci-fi film. 13 months of editing? Worth every second. It’s as tight and fluid as anything you’ll ever see.

As a physicist I have often had to point out the philosophical impossibility of time travel as people think of it.

Doesn't HAVE to be dimensional travel. There is nothing that prevents whatever energy patterns and particles that form your memory from spontaneously rearranging to form the new reality. It is simply very unlikely...unless you have a time machine to force it. So the universe just snaps into a new solution to the wave function and keeps right on going. Same reality. Just an updated to incorporate the time travel event. But you are correct. The new solution may possibly incorporate some retrocausality. Still, that seems more likely than the idea that there are multiple copies or many worlds. Fundamentally, nothing says the past has to be immutable.

When the time arrived the tent mechanism failed and everything had to repeated on a different day. The final shot lasted about ten seconds.

To be fair, that's what all editing is, obsessing over single frames until you want to tear your hair out

Bravo. The piece and your explanation of what it took to make it a finished product is everything this film making world needs right now.

I second this. It's like watching an amazing story, and then reading the story of how it came to be. Presenting those two things (the story, and the story behind the story) will hopefully inspire other film makers, or anyone pursuing something seemingly insurmountable, to not quit because they only ever see a polished product and not the 13 months this guy, and others, took to make it happen. It's next level, better than any motivational speaker/course mofo could ever do to inspire

Love this. Hysterical and totally genius.

I don't know how this short film randomly popped up on my feed, but I'm glad it did and I'm immediately forwarding this to my time travel nerd friends.

Ah, I remember watching this years ago! Absolutely spectacular job, Devon!
