More About "Home In Time":
As Kate and Felix prepare their home for Christmas, an obnoxious stranger barges in. He is Older Felix from twenty-six years in the future. He has travelled back in time to witness the last happy moment they ever had. More family arrive. Hilarity ensues. As does eggnog, future drugs, dancing, and hot make-outs. The time travel technicians detect a concerning anomaly that may prevent them from returning. Another time tourist arrives at the party! It's Felix's adult daughter, with her own Time Team in tow. No love lost, hey verbally spar, then make a delicate peace, as the time nerds try to sort out a way back.

Merry Christmas, ding-dongs. Enjoy my x-mas time travel comedy full of crappy characters being crappy to each other. Ask me anything! (Is that how this works?) I'll go first. Q: Why did you rip off all your time travel mechanics from Endgame, you lazy hack? A: 'Home in Time' premiered at the Canadian Film Festival two months before Endgame was released, so clearly those sneaky Russo brothers lifted their ideas from me 🧐.

[@hunam3876]

How much vodka does one need to really appreciate this?

[@ruiner_9]

Fuck yeah! Hilarious writing, a cornucopia of emotional beats that all make sense somehow, great special effects, and dubstep. Christmas came early, or late, or early AND late, depending on which one is the primary timeline. Fantastic work!

[@meganrhoden5386]

The ending is awesome

Yeah! Finally a scifi DUST short, that isn't perpetually, in a dark, shadowy environment!

[@dadbod-deluxe]

I gotta say, I really love the touching father/daughter stuff at the end. Really nicely paced, acted great, and the silent flashbacks are poignant. ❤

[@dougcox835]

The best part is how they resolved the paradox issue. No paradoxes here.

[@patrickhagarty_director]

RIght?! 🖖

[@whocares2277]

You could create one, because the 2044 crew now knows about 2048 events (assuming both made it home safely).

[@racookster]

@@whocares2277- I assumed the 2044 crew couldn't go home because the 2048 crew showed up and split the timeline again, so the 2044 crew became ghosts, too. The narrative just never showed us the timeline where the 2048 crew didn't show up and the 2044 people went home. It kept following unstable branches.

[@quitlife9279]

@@racookster That's my assumption too, actually the most logical scenario would be the daughter actually purposefully sought out where her father went on his time travel to meet him there even if she didn't admit it. No reason why she wouldn't be able to time travel like that from the future, there's no paradox.

[@tylergenke7252]

That song at the end is fricken awesome! I want the whole version.

Love everything about this including the small details like “shiz” and “Jebus”

[@patrickhagarty_director]

I've clearly found my people here. Thanks for watching 🖖

[@cmstar0]

This needs to be a series with Cara in the lead. Really like the concept. The series is the business, could have different 'customers' each episode/arc.

[@patrickhagarty_director]

Yup. Exactly. And Cara's character is a lead in that.

[@joselucnico]

…or maybe a season 7. 😁

[@DavidRexGlenn]

This was a million times better written and has more character development than anything I have seen all year. Thanks for giving an old man hope for the future of movies!

I laughed my a** off. Also, very happy to see Patrick Mackenna. I loved him in SG-1.

[@krashd]

It took me a minute to realise Future Felix is the dude from Stargate SG-1, one of the "other guys" who was infatuated with Sam and idolised O'neill. Loved those episodes and loved this!

[@mrdonetx]

I would love to see Cara in more scifi. I loved her in The Expanse.

[@Ant1ev0]

i would also love tol see her in more of that latex

[@emilylaronde872]

I haven't watched regular t.v. in years, so to get both Patrick McKenna AND Debra McGrath in the same SF short was a real treat - great work, P.H.!

[@patrickhagarty_director]

McKenna was responsible for bringing in McGrath. Was the only role I struggled to cast. I asked Pat to recommend someone. Man oh man, did Deb deliver. Perfection!

[@SavageHand]

He was hilarious on SG1. He played a nerdy scientist with a crush on Carter and was nervously botching up everything when she came around while trying to impress her. His daydreaming scenes were hilarious. Very underrated physical comedian.

[@arthurcallahan4735]

Such a great short film. All the actors did an amazing job.

That wasn't the end of The Expanse, just the latest season.

[@dougwhiddon8227]

This was really good. Needs a longer version. It doesn't really end as much as it just stops. Also, needs 3 groups of time travelers, first the guy, then the wife, then the daughter. Kind of riffs on A Christmas Carol.

[@patrickhagarty_director]

Thanks. It's a short version, of a longer script concept. I'm working on a TV series based on the Time Tours travel agency.

It was a fun roller-coaster of a Sci-fi. All too short, there was tonnes of options where this might go. As for the ending, ending the cycle of violence and teaching a kid to love life (having a private word with his father, about his behaviour) would have been my choice, if ever it presented itself.

[@donmcneal233]

Yup; needed a Whisky for that one....!
