Joshua Warren has been fascinated by cinema and literature ever since he was a child when he spent most of his free time either drawing, writing or making amateur short films with his schoolmates. He has written, produced and directed several shorts films in both the UK and in Norway. He is also a self-published novelist.
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.
