I was fearful for the Cat. It has 9 lives but still. I wish I cpuld go back in time, get my lite going well with what I know today. Still, I am lacking a superior, self enchanting life vision that is all that really matters for true true being alive. Good luck with this everyone on Earth,.. and beyond.
I wonder, how many times, in how many different ways, does Michael end up dead over this incident? How many different people pull the trigger? Is there even one timeline where he's actually able to escape getting killed over this? What delicious imagination food you've cooked up... Thank you!

Time travel (to the future) is reasonable. Just move your body at near the speed of light and you should be in stasis relative to everything else going on. If time travel (to the past) were to ever be invented, it would be as though time travel has allways existed. Because it dosent exist now, it never will.

@@TheKeller101 It's a valid argument, though cross dimensional travelers should exist if your hypothesis is true. The logical leap to make that hypothesis work must include "original / protected timelines cannot be traveled to." Looks like our universe is orginal or protected as cross dimensional travelers aren't here. It's a large logical leap, and frequently the simplest solution is the best.
Freakin' brilliant ending! A mix of scifi, drama and comedy with a great script and directing. Please let me know when you're getting picked up. I'm an instant fan.

You see this great piece as a short because some schmuck also sees it, gets the rights to it (poor writer and actors hope against hope it's going to the best people who will love on it) BUT schmucks being what they are, they get stupid ideas and MESS this wonderful short all the way up by adding *ACTORS* (see MONEY) who want to pontificate and chew the hell out of this very nice piece. Meanwhile, all of us who saw it and hear about a *MOVIE* project get shafted in theaters EVERYWHERE when NO ONE recognizes the VOMIT that is released. Like what happened to The Shining when a large writer whose excellent book got turned into schlock by a hack *DIRECTOR*.

WHAT A STORY and the acting wasn't bad, either!!!! After restarting because I thought I was confused I was blown away. Why can't we see this as a full movie?? Very nice, five stars.
These Screamfest and other short horror films are of a really high standard. I think they put a lot of the stuff that is in cinemas and TV or streaming services, to shame because they're just so much more interesting and better made. I think the fact that a lot are entries in competitions raises the standard. I wish mainstream film makers would watch these and perhaps we would get some better entertainment!
I loved how the suspenseful music from micheal's scene went into the next while charlie was watching tv then, while the same music came from the show Charlie was watching. Then the narration from the tv goes into the next, great stuff man. Also loved how Charlie pulls the gun mag from the chips, lol.
Holy slobbery sasquatch smiles, that recursive time idea has seemed so tired to me for such a long time. That being said, this one had me well invested. What a rad little movie!
You guys have got a celluloid gold mine here. More, please. And thanks.
This could easily be extended to a long time series.
That was pretty cool! Looking forward to seeing more of your work...
I’m not gonna say this was by far the best short I’ve seen in a long time, but this was by short the best short I’ve seen in a long time.

OMG, what an awesome movie!!😃 I can’t believe all the men got shot; I would’ve never guessed that ending. Too bad the lovely redhead didn’t show up until the very end. Guys are constantly underestimating how deceptive women can be (and when I say women, I mean ALL of them).
Absolutely incredible Oscar please I hope they’re not going to leave and hanging like that So many of the small films never continue such a shame
BUMMER, you only have one film!!! One AWESOME film!! Keep up the great work Crash!!!
Excellent story. Clever concept that I've not seen before. This could be adapted so many ways.

They can't.. Some of Hollywood's writers are too lazy to think of original ideas.. That's why they make shitty sequels or revamp movies.. They know the original was a success so they think theirs will be too, just because it shares the same title.. Predator, Alien, Terminator, Robocop, just to name a few

Hey Dropout Cowboy (Crash Buist ) great work on the short film "Rewrite". Everybody was great, and I was sucked in for 16:06.
Also why the hell is this not a Netflix or Amazon series I mean oh my God quality no quality is not big enough word incredible content for either one of the services these guys could be filthy rich with their talent
Make another chapter for this. I want to see what's next.
I enjoyed this, very well done. Hello Michael and good luck with your life everyday, everyday. Time travel man, it's fkd up and blows your mind.
This was excellent . The premise was great , the acting fun and interesting... I want more ! The book is a good intro , the other artifacts can have their own qualities ... the boys get sucked in to a whole series of mysteries and alternate situations... I would have the lady as their handler as they retrieve the other artifacts ... and dodge the other faction , government or secret cabal trying to gain control of them .

Naw. Make a new episode each time, with the artifact changing hands. New characters would be better than a remake of Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Just sayin
having smoked a sativa this appealed to my sense of imagination....well done bravo
NICE. Had to watch it again. It looks like that no matter what Michael dies. The only thing which changes is the location and in whose hands he does so. It vibes a bit like one of my fave movie, "Before I Fall". From the perspective of Michael the goal trying to save his life or of anyone he thinks/feels he can save is NOT the actual goal. What I love about the concept of time travel is it makes people believe that the goal is about changing something which they feel was wrong in the past. In actual fact the loop is in believing time is real and that it makes a difference! "Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.” “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” -- Albert Einstein
Now that was interesting. A very well crafted film.

not a big fan of the whole time traveling genre because the writer can literally go any which way to form some bullshit scenario. BUT this one has good humor and a great little story to go with it, i really liked it.
yes i noticed the black cat green eyes, just like mine , he looks around saying @ what the fuck is going on ? lol. this is a great script , it gives the viewer a look into what it took to keep the book safe and how much the keepers had to go through to do just that . bravo.
Great premise, and that ending....absolute mindfuck in the best way possible!!!
