Writer Statement

Our vision for this film extends far beyond the short - we see it as the starting point for something much bigger, a series or feature-length film that will dive deep into the mysterious world we've created.

We've got a fully fleshed-out story for this mysterious town, and while the short focuses on two characters, the full version will explore other lives affected by the strange events happening here. This short film is just the tip of the iceberg, and we’re excited to show how much more there is to discover in Timeless Shadows.

Everlast on the surface appears to be a perfect, idyllic town, where life seems comfortable and free of everyday worries. The town operates under a mysterious, controlled time loop, where each day resets to a pristine state. Resources like money and fuel are replenished overnight, providing an ideal, carefree life for its residents. The town’s perfection, however, hides darker secrets beneath its surface.

While some inhabitants remain blissfully unaware of the time loop, others begin to notice strange anomalies and distortions in reality. Mysterious agents oversee the maintenance of the loop, ensuring order at all costs, while some residents become aware of the deeper mysteries affecting the town. Time glitches, unexplained events, and hidden technology create an unsettling atmosphere beneath Everlast’s utopian facade.

The town’s lore is rich with unexplored stories, and in a larger narrative, different characters’ lives would be affected in unique ways by the town's dark secret. At the heart of Everlast is the struggle between living in a false paradise and facing the truth of a distorted reality. The time loop serves as both a prison and a puzzle that challenges those who seek to understand it.
