Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director George Moïse shot the entire film in 18 days on a reported budget under $100,000, using his own apartment for multiple time-period sets.
The film's grimy visual style deliberately echoes Shane Carruth's Primer (2004), another time travel film made for pennies that trusts audiences to untangle the mechanics themselves.
