- A wannabe director in a time loop copies a famous film.
TIME TRAVELING THROUGH TIME is used with permission from Ryan Ward. Learn more at memorypillfilms.com.
An aspiring film auteur sets off to make a time travel movie, taking the seminal French film LA JETEE as his inspiration. While making it, he struggles with translating his vision to screen, all while trying to impress and maybe even seduce his actress, who often questions him and his decisions.
But the project goes awry when the director gets caught up in a time travel loop himself, with each riff adding more complications to the story. Eventually, the story itself takes over, as the director finds himself at the mercy of his creation.
Directed and written by Ryan Ward, this sci-fi comedy begins with a brief but campily operatic intro leading into the first part of the filmmaker's opus, revealing how the narrative takes the influential film LA JETEE, directed by Chris Marker, as its jumping-off point. LA JETEE told a story about doomed infatuation and time travel using ominous still photographs and voiceover narrative. This film takes that original format style as its inspiration as well, both for the director's work and the meta-level observing the aspiring director. The storytelling, though, has a certain sly mischief and goofiness, which seeps through the artsy stylings and then dismantles them with great wit.
The director's film is a murky, not very original riff on LA JETEE, but the meta-story follows the director's efforts not just to make the film but also to bed the lead actress by impressing her with his artistic genius. Needless to say, things don't go well, but they go especially sideways when the director finds himself in his own temporal aberration, wondering if the actress and his film were an alternate dimension. Suddenly, the director becomes the star of his work and story, stuck in a loop he must get out of if he wants to complete his masterpiece.
Like the images of LA JETEE, this film's photos are striking and evocative, as are the faces of actors Skylar Caleb and Dru Perez, as well as the soundscape and musical score underneath the pictures. The real cleverness lies in the writing, which has a fun time with the complications of the time-travel genre and the egotism behind the hubris of filmmaking. As the various time travels converge, so do the different egos and agendas, making for an eccentric and hilarious conclusion.
Smart, wry and ultimately delightful to watch, the end of TIME TRAVELING THROUGH TIME is almost hilariously operatic in its pile-up of characters and plot events, and though its conclusion is undoubtedly absurd, it is also oddly logical in the zany hall of mirrors that is its story. If time travel represents an obsessive series of attempts to recreate love and time travel films an exercise in inflated self-importance, this particular riff takes it all into the direction of self-love, with hijinks very gleefully ensuing. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Those cat bokeh filters tell you enough about the fact that the whole film was directed by Christophe...
I don't know how or why, but I was totally entertained by that. An original idea for this day and age.
Agreed.
I hope the director didn't go over budget.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I find this to be hilarious, even though I don't fully understand it.
I don't recommend watching this video.

@@eugenetswong Yeah this was a very strange one .
I love the art of storytelling. This is a masterpiece. It's unique and strangely comical.
Love it!
To those who criticise the title: it had to be stated as such - after all, if you didn't know, they may have been travelling through space :-)
TRULY unique story-telling and brilliant photo-visuals. This was a First Class creation. Everyone involved with this one should be immensely proud. 🎥☮
Now this was complete. loved it. Different had a great storyline and great acting. Well done everyone.
I was in the film dept. at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln the first time I saw La Jetee... it freaked me out. This is a hilarious take on that film and the time travel genre... thank you... Camera nerd moment in 3, 2, 1, ... I'm a photographer/filmmaker... my very first film camera in 1979... was a Pentax Spotmatic 1000... nice touch...😉
Thank you for sharing your experience!
GO HUSKERS!!
You are correct, sir!
So much fun to be a part of this! Yay!
I'm youtubing through youtube
I like the part with the cat 😽
I had a few good laughs watching this creative assembly (montage). Those red flags concerning time travel! Danger Will Robinson!
Excellent, unique, comical short. Really liked it.
Brilliant. I love a film that is self-aware. Breaking expectations and dumping on toxic tropes.
Meow. 😄 That was super fun! Nice work!
Christof was my favorite character 😸
A photo-novella.
I’m inspired 💡
Self love is very important for oneself.
And every narcissist applauds your comment.
@@Xhopp3r more importantly, people who are emotionally stable and are comfortable with themselves. A narcissist gathers stability from the praise of others.
@@CannonRanger-1 Ok.
I just know we should seek to love others, and not seek self love. If everyone is loving towards everyone, then everyone benefits from love.
Loving yourself benefits one person only.
You can try to veil self love in phrases like "emotionally stable", and "comfortable with themselves", but the truth about seeking self love is that it edifies, encourages, uplifts, and praises, one person only.
It is a selfish type of love and does not spread in the world.
On the other hand, seeking to edify, uplift, encourage, and praise others, is a love that can be contagious and because of that it can spread throughout the world.
Self love can lead to grand delusions and can lead one down a very dark path.
@@Xhopp3r to phrase Ru Paul "If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love someone else?" Stop being a troll and pester someone else. If you can't stop yourself from replying again, you've proven that you're constantly in need of someone to make you feel validated and seen. Grow up and walk away.
This is so interesting! I love the title. Such a cool film!!!
Decided on some Max Payne vibes hm? It's great, I love it. ❤
Time travelling through time...nice
Great film!
Self love - said very beautifully
Nobody else finds this title redundant?
at a minimum, at least
yep, I did indeed
‘Time traveling’ or ‘traveling through time’ would make more sense but I think it’s to distinguish it from two very generic titles.
Yes, again, it was redundant, many times, over and over, time after time. Redundant. Did I mention that it might be redundant? Well, it is.
@@theeclectic2919
yes, absolutely redundant....tsk
Intriguing. Subtle
Like I'm watching this video through watching. 😂
Don't you like videotaping videos through video?
The title is supposed to be redundant, the entire film makes fun of stuff like that, I thought it was obvious.
Now to the actual film. At first the photos threw me off but the dialogue was funny enough so it made it original... and vintage somehow (like those magazines in the 90s and early 00s with stories like that, told through actual photos and dialogue).
Also... I love how he just randomly brings up his cat 🐈 that would be me, if I was a director 😂
Nutty -
but original.
[ Maybe? ]
Because another 💿
time-stream⏳ variation 💥
may be reverberating🌐
right now? 🛸

oh mann greaaat approach🤓
It's almost like Omeleto is describing the premise in the title of the film( like they used to do )but its actually the name of film. Which was filmed through photos.
Just as I was starting to think this was having major _La Jette_ vibes, they go and _reference_ it. I've always loved time travel, which is why I *_loathe_*_ La Jette_ so much. I saw it in college in a filmmaking class, and its predictable "twist" was far overshadowed by the film breaking its own time travel rules. I liked how _12 Monkeys_ eliminated the major plot hole aspect/s that made/makes _La Jette_ so infuriating...
Yeah, I like time travel, too. I don't mind comedy being added into it, but chronology and paradoxes should be respected.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'll go to check the summaries of those 2 films.
@eugenetswong I love original takes on time travel. Have you ever seen the li'l 2007 indie film _11 Minutes Ago,_ a nearly zero budget feature filmed in a single evening?
The filmmakers did a Q&A at the screening I attended. They said in film school one of the writer teachers said if you have eleven scenes that are eleven minutes each... you have yourself a feature film. They thought this was a great idea. This film uses that structure almost as an in-joke (eleven scenes, each at least 11-minutes long), but it was very well made and with pretty much no money (and a hilarious time travel method... with no budget).
Great superb excellent film style! Dedicated to lesbians and gay dudes!

Same comment - different commenters - or is it??
Did i just watch 13 minutes of a PowerPoint slideshow
Time Traveling Through Time?
Yeah... obviously.
Drinking water with water consuming.
What?
Ones and one's; and also, one's ones, yet also, ones one's, as used, interchangeably, on a spectrum of electron passes through and around and atom to appear as two one-one's; and also, one, yet also, one of not one/one electron passed through or around the atom which is not an atom-ic, but a neutral ion.
Well, what else would you time travel through?
Great Power Point Presentation
Title kinda weird
Well, okay, then.
There's one main mistake in the scenario. If two persons are just the different versions of one man (or woman), but from different "lifetime pieces" one of them must remember this situation. Otherwise they are different persons from the birth.
Time paradoxes are too complicated to just write and film whatever you want.
Yeah, it took the tension out, when they didn't treat chronology seriously.
@@eugenetswong 100% true!
I see just what you see 🎯 🐿️🥜🐿️🥜📦
I like cooking through cooking
Channel is dead and stories aren’t good anymore
He has 3M subscribers, but only a few thousand views each time. It probably died the day created the channel.
Be sure to vote accordingly for each video, unless it is good quality.

Wow its just bunch of photos
All videos are - usually a lot more.
It's kind of cheap, but i kind of like it.
I loved it! It's interesting, reading the comments. This is the art of storytelling through the art of filmmaking, so basically art through art .....
As opposed to what? Lol
I wish I could have ... time travelled from the beginning of this film to the end.
Did you not make it? Maybe you ran out of flux capacitor
Or Time travel through a loaf of bread.
wtf??
Explain this to my autistic brain someone
you need to watch La Jetee to really understand it
Time travel through time just to find a point in time where everyone is gay because they all love themselves and no one else, and they are all content with such a world state.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I found this format annoying and pointless.
This was bad
I'd travel back to 1992 and leave yall millennials behind.
