"My five year old niece 'likes' science. I have a doctorate in quantum mechanics." What would you do if you had a device that would allow you to skip back on minute in time? Is there much you could do with that extra minute? Or would it just become a problem? One-Minute Time Machine is a fun short film made by filmmaker Devon Avery that originally premiered in 2014 and landed online in 2015. But that doesn't mean we can't still feature it now! I just came across this and it's so amusing, the perfect little short to make you laugh, in barely 5 minutes of time. James is all too eager to put his one-minute time machine to use in winning the heart of Regina, until he discovers the unexpected consequences of his actions. Starring Brian Dietzen and Erinn Hayes. The dialogue is so witty, even if it's a bit cheesy, it's all enjoyable in a cute way.

Thanks again to Kottke for the tip on this short film. Description from YouTube: "Every time the beautiful Regina rejects his advances, James pushes a red button and tries again, all the while unaware of the reality and consequences of his actions." One-Minute Time Machine is directed by British filmmaker Devon Avery - you can see more of his work on his official website or follow him on Twitter @Dir_Devon_Avery. He also made his feature debut this year with the film Synced. The screenplay is written by Sean Crouch. Produced by Brian Dietzen and Devon Avery.
