KILLING TIME | Omeleto

[@alenkabkk]

This was a good one on so many layers! Had to rewatch it twice to get all the little details. So their research worked! In the past her daughter dies in a car crash (that's why she knew what was going to happen "it's gonna rain..... he's gonna lose control and you are both going to...." couldn't finish the sentence, because she knows the outcome), look at how she reacts when her daughter comes in the room, so overly happy (trying to hide her reaction from her daughter) and relieved to see her alive again and her little laugh when daughter goes to her room and slams the door. Her father I am sure also dies (he allowed the daughter to go to see the movie with bf and she died, he says "Well I'm sorry I told her yes earlier... I couldn't live with myself if she got hurt.." the woman replies "I know you COULDN'T.." indicating he might have passed away shortly after her daughter died). Also she (she who traveled from the future) learned how to love and appreciate her father, look at her annoyed facial expression and reaction when he came in the first time, and look at (other) her when he comes in again. ALSO I think I am pretty sure in fact, her father FIGURED OUT it was his daughter from the future, not only she looks slightly older, glasses, more grey hair, etc. but towards the end of their conversation he knows! He knows it worked, but she made that one decision to come back just in time to change the tragic outcome, and then WALK AWAY from the research forever, just as what he said he couldn't do and what "destroyed" HIS life. Plus he gets all teary eyed and says how proud he is of her and that he loves her. SO she basically knew nothing good is going to come out of this time travel, but still used it just this one time to change the negative outcome and then be done with it.

I quite enjoyed your film. The story, performances and entire production were top notch. I’ll need to check out your other film which you mentioned was featured on Omeleto. I totally enjoy the short film genre. I have always believed that it takes great skill by the filmmakers to craft an entire world in a matter of just minutes rather than the two hours (or more) found in full length films. Well done to everyone involved in this production.

Very proud to have been the Director of Photography on this smart, exciting and heartfelt film. From the moment Maggie got the script, I knew I wanted to do whatever I could to help bring Patrick's vision to life and let Maggie's powerful acting shine through. With all the powerful performances, Patrick's great directing and editing, and the fantastic score, you can feel the passion and creativity come through with every viewing. Congrats to all and thank you to Omeleto for showcasing this great film.

[@maggiemccollester4015]

So many viewers comment on your cinematography, Hamish! The expansiveness of it, then the creepy closeness of it, the warm, dark colors of it all. You truly created magic with lighting and angles, not to mention that camera in my face! ;) Amazing how the team was couples and family members who were each other's covid-safe pods - that you and I could work that closely is one of my most cherished parts of this whole experience. Your work truly shines here - and I know what a stickler you are for details, and this shoot required you to work so quickly and within limitations. Congratulations on trusting your instincts, and on the results that came from it. You are such a talent! Bravo!

[@muhdahnaf7927]

I came here with zero expectation, thinking it was just another horror-thriller shorts. Turns out, it also touches on never-ending grievance. The main actress played her part so well, her reaction is very natural, either she's sad, afraid or relieved Tampering the time might lead to another unwanted consequences, but I'm glad the writer abandoned this aspect, so we could focus on her grievance only. While the story is touching, I was surprised with the murder scene, as the kill like this is done off-screen or briefly on-screen. It's possibly one of the best kills ever. Well done for those everyone involved !

[@FitzHouston]

Job well done! I thoroughly enjoyed "Killing Time." I loved the soundtrack , the cinematography and especially the script. Unlike other films with a time travel plot, what makes Killing Time so enjoyable to me is how all the answers as to what is happening in the story is skillfully woven in the dialogue itself and can easily be missed if you are multi-tasking as you watch this film. Only by listening carefully to the dialogue are you then able to put the cerebral puzzle together in order to understand what you just watched, along with the excitement of discovering all that is revealed in the dialogue. I appreciate the wonderful journey I was taken on as I watched this film. Continued success to JahnHog Danger Productions.

[@maidlenmary]

Beautiful movie❤ I believe it was Dad who knew it all from the first "time loop" that is why he did everything to warn her(may be even not "first her"). He'd figured how this stuff worked and could stop at one point personally and tried over and over again to convince her not to open this Pandorabox. That scarf or bandana must be hiding a "tool" that could finally convince his daughter to close it back. Who knows😅 only those super talented guys behind our screens plus a bit of our imagination 😊

The fathers formula was correct...She was replaced by a more advanced self...saving the life of her own daughter for starters!

[@maggiemccollester4015]

So glad you enjoyed the ride. Thank you for watching it and for supporting indie film.

[@dooleyjlt5503]

My take was that she saved her daughter and her father. Where he said "I don't think I could live with myself if I let her get hurt" and her response as if from experience was "I know you couldn't". So I think that she saved her daughter from an accidental death and her father from a suicidal death. Needs to be expanded into a feature length film Maggie McCollister. No more production and no less. Just like this one, done just perfectly. You can convey all the ideas you want and even better without CGI.

Currently, there are at least 70 countries where human cloning is legal. However, it appears that there 'are no' laws against using your own clone's body parts to replace one's own, thereby terminating your clone's life in the process. In this respect, since time travel and multiple timelines are considered hypothetical, there also doesn't seem to be any laws that prevent murdering your future, (or past) self, either.

[@GanciEnglishIdioms]

One of the best what-if time travel movies I've ever seen. It may be short but it really packs a punch. It had me guessing and wondering and then bam!

Hi Steve! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our short and post your thoughts! I know Hamish really appreciates it - and the rest of us do, too! :)

Well produced short film! The only issue I had was the bit of heavy-handed emotion in the scene with her father toward the end. Other than that, this was well done! Have some lingering questions, though. . . . She saved her daughter, her father and the boyfriend. This will cause ripples in time, for which there may well be consequences, both for the good and the bad. I could see a sequel short to this wherein Dr Cynthia Nelson has to confront the consequences of her selfish actions, as reality starts to unravel, possibly? Notice that she buried her research with her, and did not destroy it . . .. In a sequel short, perhaps as she realizes that reality is teetering on the edge of destruction, she goes to dig up her her research - and in doing so finds that her body is gone . . . .

Thank you so much for watching and for your nice feedback and thoughts. It's fun to imagine the story playing out that way.

I used their particle displacement equation to go back in time and watch it for the first time all over again.

[@maggiemccollester4015]

Ha ha. That's great. Thank you so much for watching - over and over and over and... ;)

This Science film had a built-in creepiness that permeated the second half of the film. She proved that space-time distortion was real but she ended up traveling into the past for the sole purpose of saving her daughter's life. She had to kill herself in the past as she traveled through time. Her computations were exact in her arrival in the past. This also contains elements of the space-time paradox. Excellent film. Acting was superb. The film itself kept me riveted to the edge of my seat. I did not know where the this story was heading. But it all became clear by the final credits. __________________________ ~ TIME ~ Falling through the glass grain by grain is time, unmeasured from the beginning to forever. When it stops for me or you it still goes on without us. To measure or to stop time isn't possible. So live your life to the fullest. If you are able to complete all that you set out to do?

Good twist on an old worn out story line. So now I'm wondering, should we think of her as a hero or a villain?

[@ceciliaramos2280]

That was excellent!!!

Never go walking/running alone nowadays. Too dangerous 😮

This short film is definitely one of the good ones.👍🏽💁🏽‍♀️🙂 It wasn't straight forward everything but it wasn't hard to get the point either.

[@maggiemccollester4015]

[@cluustudio]

I wonder if the writer was respecting the old time travel rule of avoiding eye-contact with a version of yourself in another timeline. I notice New Cindy wore a mask so and remained behind Old Cindy during the act. New Cindy didn't see Old Cindy's eyes until after she was dead. Hmm.

[@sylvainfrancoeur5905]

Very good work here. Remind me a lot of Fring ;)
