    Time Loop Masterpiec

    This is the story of two brothers. One is just your average guy, family, kids. The other brother is hi tech nerd. He has developed a way to get a day to continue to repeat itself. The problem is if he tries to intervene and change things, another problem takes its place. The cool thing is that the editing and pacing are wonderful and they have brought in the human element.

    good job

    Not original. But interesting. A film about fate, plans, tenacity, brotherhood. Convincing, well crafted, seductive, powerfull for the impecable script and for a plot who is at the border between Sci Fi and classic drama, proposing more than a trip in time for a noble cause but the connection between two brothers looking for the answer to a tragedy. A film more than seductive. Like each one, good support for questions.

    Excellent short

    Exit Strategy is a short based in the old idea of the time loop ("Groundhog Day" is even mentioned). However, this little film is very well directed, with an excellent script, good performance from the two main actors and an unexpected ending. Recommended!

    I saw this great short at Tribeca. I loved it! A really talented cast, an ending you don't see coming and lots of fun. Travis is a great story teller and an excellent editor. I just saw that it is available on short of the weeks youtube channel now!

    Refreshing take on the classic time loop

    The science-fiction idea of a time loop has been widely explored, from the classic "Groundhog Day" to more serious flicks. Often, this type of film is, inevitably, repetitive. This short movie, on the other hand, manages to convey the repetition with well-written narration and adequate use of flashbacks.

    The story is compelling and goes beyond your typical sci-fi thriller. The screenplay is clever and manages to juggle the main story, human aspects and a bit of humour. The characters are pretty well-described, so the audience can be entertained both by the series of the events and by the relationship between the two brothers. Acting and editing are, on the whole, solid.

      Matt: Why does it seem that the entire world is against us since we left that diner?

      Shane: Because it is. Time is a scientist. We're just rats stuck in her maze. She doesn't want us to get to the exit, so she keeps adding more walls, more traps.
