In case anyone else is interested... the two statues are called Power & Speed. They are holding a lion & an eagle and currently reside at Eltham College in London. This is the second short I’ve seen them in, so I was motivated to hunt down the location.

[@corwinzelazney5312]

I don't blame you. Those are some fine stone asses.

[@UltimateMadWorld]

The best time travel film I've seen in a truly long time and it's a UK short and puts Hollywood to shame!

if Hollywood did movies like this, I would actually start going to theatres again

[@macbuff81]

Agreed. Sadly though most people don't have the attention span anymore to handle such complex and beautiful material. Hollywood instead loves endless remakes of comic book movies. More money

[@kurokitsune6173]

@@macbuff81 Finally someone else notices. There's very little originality anymore. And what new original concepts that do come out are just same old same old romcoms and horror movies. Good sci-fi isn't as prevalent anymore.

[@mcullet2]

@Christian Holz. excellent comment. IMHO social media, like twitter, has resulted in the dumbing down of the young. I've been frustrated at the terse devolvement of communication which is limited to 140 characters. It's acceptable for Hyku (spelling) but leads to the loss of all long form literature which promotes emotional and philosophical discourse. Twitter is short and unable to move people. Keates, Shakespear, Dickens inspire us, and contribute to the culture which has become bland in the current generation. We are enriched by the gift of literature.

[@crimsoncaper6784]

After 19 minutes of watching this, I was fully invested in the rest of the story. Even though the time traveling ass-clown did get his hands on the car keys, he totally forgot about journal that the father handed to his son. In the end, I think time DID change due the father finding the future copy of his journal. Very well done. I've become a fan of these 20-40 minute movies; some of them are much better than what main stream Hollywood is currently making. Just sayin'. 🇨🇦👊🏻🤙🏻

[@GunnWrights]

Haha... you know, ther terms 'ASS HAT' and 'ASS CLOWN' used to be in my everyday vocabulary. I don't know why I stopped, as they are so very useful to exlain many people in this world!! Thanks for reminding me, I'll get some more milage out of these words again!!! LOL~

[@nemo4evr]

As a long term sci fiction fan all I can say is that this short puts to shame many many big money productions from Hollywood, time travel is very tricky to get right, this one is not perfect (fight scene at the dunes lmao) but it shows the power of putting your heart in to a project. Bravo! and can't wait to see more from the team! Well done Well done Well done. This story can be easily developed for a 6 or 8 part miniseries.

[@nanarose8537]

nemo4evr Exactly! 👏👐👏

[@SeedlingNL]

@Luffaman You do realize this story took place in the past, right? That future.. is the current day world, except with temporal modifications which will cease to exist due to future-Arthur breaking the 'train of thought' through past-Arthur's new belongings.

[@MistedMind]

@@SeedlingNL Yet, if that "time-travel tech" won't come to exist, how then can he still hold in his hands his diary brought back FROM THE FUTURE by his son? If it's time travel: It's a bloody messy one. If it's dimensional travel - as suggested when his son says "must have changed lanes" then, there's still the "bloody future" with time-travel technology: But only in the last dimension shown the dad won't make his formula public to prevent this dimensions end (wall).

Beautiful cinematography, beautiful music composition, beautiful storyline.

[@overworked1084]

Just my opinion Interstellar took interesting concepts and ruined them Hollywood style.

[@jamesscottvideos]

I liked Interstellar, but this is shite.

[@jeffkarabinchak6329]

Over Worked..... but!! Kyp Thorn was the scientific director behind interstellar, and his prediction of wat a black hole would look like was pretty close! I also noticed in a clip about the Late Great Carl Sagan, that Kyp Thorn worked w him, as well as Dr. Degrasi-Tyson later down the road!

I only discovered sci-fi short films on KZbin a week ago. I'm not sure how many I've watched since then; Despite the fact that I haven't watched a film made by Hollywood or Bollywood for several years now. This has been the best of the lot, hands down.

[@arnoldsherrill6305]

For want of a misplaced set of car keys one man changed the universe.! You realize that you did in 44 minutes, what it takes Hollywood to do in 2 hours. This film was simultaneously beautiful yet brutal simple yet complex. Can you imagine with a proper budget all that is possible with this concept? All in all this was a surprise a pleasant one

[@viewitnow3539]

The keys were taken by the badguy. They were still on the train

[@bobbammer475]

The creative wellspring of Hollywood's writers and producers has run dry. Has been for awhile now. Its now the time for the new generation of independent filmmakers with fresh imagination and ideas to bring us the next 100 years of amazing and memorable films. I see great things to come !

[@sgdeluxedoc]

This is what professional filmmakers create when they're making art out of passion, without any of the constraints, forced rewrites or compromises inherent in large commercial productions. In fact, KZbin, and to a lesser extent all the other free streaming platforms have reawakened the true second "Golden Age" of filmmaking, with presenters like CGBros, and Dust, and a few others showing top quality independent films. Despite having subscriptions to several streaming services, I actually spend more time watching CGBros and Dust than I do those mainstream services. And, oh, I really enjoyed this - especially the part where the alternate diary fell out, giving him the chance to change their future..

[@monicarogers1443]
