Director Statement

I've always been fascinated by the possibilities of time travel and the logical paradoxes that often arise when you try to speculate on what could happen. This film plays with some of these ideas in a narrative style not too dissimilar to an episode of the Twilight Zone, with a simple premise, a big idea, and a 'philosophical' punchline at the end.
