Director: Anthony Maras | Writer(s): John Collee, Anthony Maras Oh my god. This movie is a gut punch of every emotion. For some reason I barely remembered the events of the tragedy and I definitely did not know the extent of the terror inflicted. You have to be in the right head space to watch this movie. Definitely worth watching.

Director: Stefon Bristol | Writer(s): Stefon Bristol, Fredrica Bailey I love this movie. I am a huge fan of time-travel movies and this one just sky-rocketed to the top of my list. First, the premise. Holy-sh*t. The best sci-fi is one that can tackle tough social and political issues in the guise of sci-fi and this one does it perfectly. Second, the time-travel rules. If you choose to make a time travel movie you have a burden of establishing the rules of time travel in your film without making a mess of it. Something that is very difficult. This movie does a great job of establishing the rules and then using them in smart ways to create tension and drama. Lastly, the cast. You can tell that they are not all seasoned actors. I am so glad they kept the principle actors from the short when they made this more fully realized version. They were able to bring the emotion needed at the right time. Kudos to Eden Duncan-Smith and Dante Crichlow.

Director: Gareth Carrivick | Writer(s): Jamie Mathieson As a time travel fan, I absolutely love this movie! It is at the same time a send-up of all the common time travel tropes while also reveling in those tropes and being just an absolute blast. If you like time travel then this has to be on your watchlist.
