Awesome short video.
knighterraunt13 January 2016
I like the simple humor of the video, perhaps it was not the hardest movie to make, but the authors had a good idea and the shooting is of really high quality, I wish the AAA titles were so simple and elegant. The length of the movie is also well chose - I believe it would get boring if it were longer. The soundtrack is the icing on the cake it fits this video perfectly. Surely worth watching if you are a simple man like me, especially as it takes only one short bus ride, or short goodnight. To IMDb: How the hell am I supposed to write a 10 line review of a movie which has 5 minutes without putting spoilers? I wrote everything I liked about the movie and what to expect from it, calm you length limits IMDb.

Fast and funny

It's been awhile since a film, short or long, gave me a good laugh like this.

The simple premise at first had me worrying 'One minute time machine' was going to take a needlessly dark, insidious turn. And, well, I suppose it is a little dark - but it's not mortifying, it's delightful.

For every film that plays with time travel, or other sci-fi concepts that can be readily analyzed from the standpoint of quantum mechanics, I can't immediately think of another example that does so without lingering laboriously on the How of the What being presented. This doesn't wear out its welcome, focusing on the conversation between the leads, the revelation of the implications - and its visual realization. It's the latter that got me. What a fun, unexpected twist to the narrative flow!

At only 5 minutes, 'One minute time machine' is more than worth the time it takes to sit and enjoy this. Well done!

a lady with a book. a man with a box. a park. result - a lovely film. for the old fashion romanticism. for the humor. for characters. and story. each - as part of a form of refreshment. because, ignoring the scientific explanations, it is one of useful films for rediscover the simplicity of life. and the romanticism in its essence.

Okay for a short film

Warning: Spoilers
"One-Minute Time Machine" is a 6-minute short film from last year and I came across it because it has Brian Dietzen in it and I am an avid NCIS watched. The lead actress Erinn Hayes I am not familiar with, but I see she had her fair share of appearances as well. Writers and directors Devon Avery and Sean Crouch are not equally prolific, but also worked on several projects in the past. And experience pays off. The four came up with a pretty funny little movie here. it is about a guy who spots the woman of his dreams on a park bench and uses his time machine until he finally gets her to be attracted to him. However, there are consequences, deadly consequences actually. But don't worry. It's still all very light and never a dramatic movie. I recommend the watch, especially to fellow NCIS fans. Thumbs up.

Finally! A short that's well-written and a complete story!

I've seen lots of science fiction shorts in the last few years and nearly all of them lacked the spark contained in this piece.

Yes, a well-written short. Most of the ones I've seen in the last few years have been empty special f/x exercises, or social justice wuss propaganda. This piece is clever, funny, well-paced and beautifully acted. Great dialog and cinematography -- no sharp or clunky edges to distract. This piece is a refreshing work of art. We need more from these folks.
