She is running and cannot drive... The city lacks taxi

@@aerocurious8013 That doesn't answer the question as to why she threw a perfectly good leather jacket on the ground for no frickin' reason!?! LOL

well she's a lesbian, not a bisexual :P

I was actually interested deeply in this .... it felt like two seconds.

[@trevorama]

GOLMII ARTS That’s great! I wish I could have made it longer but the contest it was made for had a 5 minute maximum time limit. I’m currently revisiting this concept as a TV series, so hopefully one day you can see it properly fleshed out.

[@ellieheck8176]

As much as this hurts to watch because you can tell how heartbroken and lost she is without Kris, I absolutely love it!! I need a sequal!! PLEASE!!!

[@trevorama]

[@TheFubz]

sci fi AND gay? two of my favourite genres :D

[@trevorama]

TheFubz Glad you think so. Me too! That’s why I made it.

[@taybugproductions]

This is really cute, a s sweet. I like it, but wouldnt taking Kris before they met kinda make it so they wouldn't meet? Like time travel is kinda tempermental like that. What the girl shouldve done is go back to just after they had met, but i do still like the plot. It's creative.

[@trevorama]

TaylorRayne Great question! I guess it depends on which theory of time travel you subscribe to. If time is immutable and can’t be changed, then going back in time before they first met is a better idea because there’s a greater likelihood that Kris will return with Adira (as opposed to just staying and enjoying the developing relationship with the Adira she’s already met... and trying to avoid the future car crash). Glad you liked it!

[@lnealeigh5670]

Great actors, great short film! I loved it!

[@mikeholtzclaw3995]

OK, that was actually quite good. Now we need a sequel in which the boyfriend is filing a missing persons report. "I swear she was standing right there talking to me."
