Wow. Not only has she realized that this has happened over & over but that she is most likely in one of the few if not only universe where her husband is still alive. So she'll be fighting for him forever
he must be one hell of a guy
Very well done outstanding work. Can't think of any films that come close to this.. Hats off to all involved.
Very tastefully executed Alexis. I loved it from beginning to end. The twist that they are at a never ending battle for one man is creepy and dark in a way. Like she will be forever fighting to get back home to her husband. Sad. Well done
she's her own worst enemy
If two parallel lines meet 🤖 they’re no parallel indeed! I loved it
How many ways can I tell you it's good. Excellent musical score as well -- dovetailed nicely with the film.
I would purchase a flak jacket to prevent from getting tranquilized over and over. I would also purchase a handgun, taser, and possibly private security. I would also train heavily in the gym and with martial arts. You have to outsmart yourself.
A little over the top there. Just use wisdom, adaptability, and common sense. You`ll be OK.
The others would most definitely do the same and beat you at 'your' game, coming from possibly more advanced worlds (the presence of several memory drives with the last data seems to suggest that the second girl had been on a road show stealing data drives and other people's lives)
Great work, Alexis!
+Curtis Judd Thanks! It's been a long time coming.
I like this movie! And to think the possibilities of alternate universes! Well done, and well acted!
Particularly enjoyed the music! Good story and special effects. Love the ending.😊👍
Nice piece! It would be difficult to out think yourself. Kinda like one's own worst enemy... Well done. Thank you!
Nice piece, I agree... The film was good too..
😂😂
Amazing job. Fkn excellent caveat!
This video is WONDERFUL. One of the best I've ever seen a doctor probably will ever see.
Great to see this on the small screen after seeing in London earlier in the year. Nice job.
We should go back to that bar again soon ;-)
I really enjoyed this movie, it was well made and good acting.
Ditto. Impressive sfx, gave me skill envy. Going to check the credits
Excellent twist at the end.
Liked it very much. There are some logical inconsistencies though. Perhaps someone else already mentioned them:
1) Her husband would not respond in the way he does, because his wife would have been experiencing a complete loss of memory every other month (his remark suggests that another "doppelganger" takes over with that frequency). Each doppelganger lived without her husband, so does not know what happened in the time she was gone. In other words, either she must have explained him the situation with the dopplegangers, or he would be extremely worried and try to get her into treatment with an MD because he will think she has some kind of severe brain disorder (alzheimer's, etc.?). In any case, his response should have been completely different from what it is now...
2) If a new doppelganger comes in every other month, which she finds out almost immediately as she arrives - she would still have 2 months to prepare for her doppelganger to come. If she's smart - and that is what she is, she would not be at her home office around that time, and move to another place. The doppelganger would have much difficulties finding her. Even better: she would set a trap for her doppelganger, capture her, sedate her, and destroy her equipment at the other universe and move her back there.
It is a pity that these kind of things are not taken into account - in general BTW for most SF series/movies. I think that it is often the case that just minor changes could make the story line consistent, and with that probably much more interesting.
Either that, or the film is made as a symbol of what every human goes through at certain stages in life, spiritually and emotionally. Trials and errors.
It's a very good film . Great work ! Thanks for posting !
A disturbing take on the parallel-worlds theme; well-written, produced and acted.
Good film and the music is really good, love the last guitar part.
Thank you, this was my first ever score when I was about 22-23.
Brilliant! Nice to see some work from the man I've only read books of so far^^
Anyone else noticed the tangent element being missused?
Cheers!
Cool! And I like the red flash drive too.
Great fun. Way to go guys!!!
Great flick all around. Thanks
This was superb!
Wow, Ford has really come a long way. : ) Fun short film!
🟦....XLnt way to close that!
....Bravo!!
Nice piece of cliff hanger + cyclic irony!
Great job!
Good film, good story, and good captioning.
very much enjoyed this! what are some other projects you've done?
loved it Alexis!
He must have that magic meatsstick
Time loop is a huge problem in time travelling and has not yet been solved
not a loop but infinite parallel jumps
@@fredricknietzsche7316
Both are highly probable. With the loop we can see and understand why we fall back again in any given circumstance...
The ole ubiquitous ‘data’ fixes everything! 🙂 she should always keep a copy on her person... and maybe kill the double.
Really awesome movie!
Great job thanks
trick or threat
Very well done, I am impressed.
Second time seeing, still great
1940s British film: 'Dead of Night'. A must watch!
Is the gist of this story that she realizes that it has happened before, so it's probably going to happen again? Kind of an endless loop of versions of herself doing this to herself over and over?
I hope I'm understanding it right. Great story, very well done.
Different parallel versions. (of which there are an infinite number)
Well said White Zombie.
I see it as the human endless duality
As some say "own worst enemy"...
This is real time line loop easy for understand.
Why do so many people think this is about time travel?
It's interdimensional.
Excellent
Lather, rinse , repeat!!!!
That was really cool. You think you can have the love of your life but so does everyone from every other dimension. Lmao
Also means he died in a LOT of timestreams, if there are so many widow versions of her homing in on this particular one...
At least the place ain't on fire.
Superb
looks like her life went in a loop
pretty effed up plot, but i really really loved it. exceedingly well done!
nicely done - the music seems a bit off?? // the music is suppose to add to the film, not have a separate life. And it is to loud contrast to the rest of sounds and dialogue
Very inte film. Never seen something similar...
In a simple form... Mankind war against the self... the never ending fight.... Then you pass to freedom...
i understand a lot of work went into this movie but i couldn´t follow the plot. what happened in the end?
she figured out this was never going to end
I agree. not clear at all.
It's pretty manifestly clear that she has got her husband back but multiple times alternate 'hers' keep on taking him back. The multiple thumbdrives are the key to the answer.
@@stevetreloar6602 yup
I see it as the things we do to ourselves and try to change them but in due time we make the same mistake over and over until we learn what we're doing to ourselves. Only then, we can change and stop the running in circles..
Nice
She's a slider.
Technically "they are all" sliders.
Oh my god she is gorgeous ;0
Suggestion - perhaps re-think the composition of certain shots. And, maybe consider an alternative prop for the lego. It kind of struck me as silly as opposed to the serious realization she was having. Still gave it a like.
somthing one off and unique would be better.
What if the producers and writers chose deliberately the male figure leggo because the star is a woman...
On the flip side of the coin, if it had been written for a man, the leggo would have to be that of a female.
Having said that, i think the producers tried to relate our own weakness to fall for the one we're probably not worthy of having ...
Your thoughts...
Watch first then comment below if you wish;
The short film holds my attention well. It is not novel but very few story's are it is just how well they are told that matters. If you want an original look out for Nigel Kneale - his novel story's for the BBC have been retold in Sci-Fi Dr Who, Star Trek, other films many times.
Definition of recursion - see recursion
Alexis, why you no do movies??
GREAT! SO F-ED UP!
Just me sleep?
You're gonna be homeless Living in a van down by the river! Chris Farley
So...sort of...Karin vs. Karin?!?
Hah! Excellent!
nice
I think it's wonderful that people are getting stuff up, most of then just re-prove the maxim that Hollywood's fried but we have some great young people chomping at the bit. BUT: I gotta say it; I find it really diffcult to understand just about EVERY short "time travel" trope. It's a model that I guess just NEEDS slower, more deliberate plotting. I'm SURE the writer(s), directors, actors understand, but take a momo and go through the comments NObody can figure thse things out! And I mean, ALL of them. This lady collects plastic square-guy dolls and shoots herself? Why? Becuase somrbody died 3 or 6 or some years ago? There's no WHY here.
Nobody indeed. This is just impossible to figure out. Nevertheless the way or the time you take, this is just impossible. Can't work, always a flaw in the script or even the theory. This is the old story of the one who gets in the past and accidentally kills his grand father. If he kills him, how could he be living in the first place and go in the past ? You just have to appreciate this awesome one for what it is : a very good story very well done and acted.
don't like having to take notes .
is she the real she ?
signed : confused !
can someone explain to me what the red ppl at the end meant? i didnt get it
They were all flash drives belonging to the alternate versions of the woman. It shows that different alternates were all travelling to that universe to get back with that man, and that another one will be on her way.
Anyone else thinks this is stupid??
If it is Time travel or parallel-worlds there is a simple solution for this plot.
1. Go back before he dies to stop it.
or
2. Find a Parallel world where he doesn't die.
or
3. Just find someone NEW. He wasn't All that if she would have allowed herself to live her life.
That would answer it for All of them, well some.
tresting loop , I thought it was time travel, repeatedly dragging her self into the future s she could go to the past....
Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂
simple solution; get a more lethal firearm
Didn't make sense.
This time machine bit has been done to death. Please stop this 🤪
Surprise! You aren't the first, you won't be the last. A self contained argument for MGTOW.😊
Typical women from alternate universes fighting over the same guy movie LMAO
Hey, wait a second! Would us being in a shit-hole parallel universe explain why the president of the United States thinks he can forecast the weather with a Sharpie and receives the negative covfefe? Maybe not, but I know one thing . . . we’re sure not in Missouri anymore.
This was amazing!
