Shane Caruth put his directorial debut together for a reported mere $7,000… A true low budget movie about friends who invent a technology that as a by-product seems to allow them to travel in time.

As always with time travel, paradoxes and causality are major themes, and this movie does it in an intriguing way. A large amount of information is introduced to the audience and it doesn’t dumb its concepts down, so you have to pay attention. You may even want to watch it twice to get the whole story. Don’t worry – it is only an 80 minute movie.
