2. Unpossible
3 years ago
A paranoid inventor goes to any lengths to protect his new time machine. When things go catastrophically wrong, he is forced to use the machine in a desperate bid to put things right. A ridiculous sci-fi conundrum.
Written, directed & edited by Robin King
Starring David Crow & Chris Hayward
Director of Photography Mirko Beutler
Camera & Lighting Assistant Amy Newstead
Sound & Music Nat Saunders
This film was written, shot & edited in seven days as part of the second round of selection for the US TV show 'On The Lot' (a kind of X-Factor for film directors). I submitted my first film "Ten Thousand Pictures of You" (vimeo.com/2554266) to the competition, and got a call one night from Dreamworks saying that I should make a new film in one week, and that it and my submitted film would be watched by Steven Spielberg...
The film was written in 2 days, prepped in 2 days, shot in 1 day and edited in 2 days. (All while I also had to get a visa application ready in case I got through!) Apparently Spielberg liked them, but I didn't quite make the cut for the show proper.
Shot on a Z1, edited in FCP. Minimal colour correction and the split screen work was with the 8-point garbage removal tool.
For those of you who are interested, I also made a documentary about the making of Unpossible, called "Mission:Unpossible" (vimeo.com/2728263).

Had a lot of fun watching it, I added it to my group vimeo.com/checkit , hope you don't mind.
well done!
So fun and well done for a really short movie.
Good work. Very nicely thought out, layering the character's various encounters and indicators. It might have benefitted from just a few more seconds spent on defining the hero's character. The plot suggests that it's a man getting his comeuppance for being a nasty guy (Kills a stranger with a screw driver, turns out to be him) but some of the drama seems to rely on the audience sympathizing with him, which is difficult is he's the bad guy. You've used the light and the space really well.
You did well to battle to the deadline. I believe that working under pressure, with tough constraints makes anyone a much more creative film maker.
It follows a very similar "gimmick" premise as the film Primer which is well worth a look for anyone who enjoyed Unpossible.
Keep up the good work!
Well Done!
I liked every second of this film -- If it's not yet you have to get this in festivals.
I dug your duplicate/split/multiple character thing. (I don't really know what to call it) Well done keeping the story coherent and clear while still maintaining a sense of wonder.
The pace was a bit off for me but I feel like if you had a bit more time those kinks could easily have been worked out.
Well done, man!
