About
This film centres around time travel and I’ve always wanted to explore this exciting genre. Science fiction is very hard to pull off as it requires a lot (usually) of visual effects, and special effects depending on the story. I had to be clever in the way I would build this world.
During my writing process, which was one of the longest and most difficult scripts I had experienced writing. How to make it all make sense, I needed to consider what happens before what happens after, if you change the past, then how this new future affected? I spent a few months writing the screenplay.
The editing process of this film was incredibly long. I spent a year (on and off), editing this film. This was my most ambitious project at the time and required good editing skills. I learned a great deal in being more organized as an editor as it involves repeating key scenes with subtle but significant changes. This is the longest film I’ve ever made with a record time of 53min.

Checking that there is good continuity. Not shooting in chronological order and on top of that shooting a scene that has slight difference from another scene makes it all the more challenging. Overcoming fatigue.

Although extremely proud to have made my first feature film, there were quite a lot of technical issues that we can notice in the film. I made the mistake shooting day for night and not controlling the light as well… but other than these problems I think I’m very happy with the way I told the story, and the film takes you on an exciting ride.
