Let’s question the nature of reality, brah

So Five Minutes Ago is a time-traveling adventure starring a couple of duuuudes who can’t really figure out what’s going on with their homemade time machine. Exactly like Bill and Ted, you say? Kind of, but less actual time travel and more dimestore metaphysics.

Dina Chapman’s short was a winner of the 2007 Duke City Shootout. More on Duke City:

The Duke City Shootout is the world’s first and longest-running script-to-screen movie-making contest. The Shootout and the 48 Hour Film Project were cited in MovieMaker Magazine [1]as “pioneers of the marathon movie-making competition.” The competition was begun in 2000 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, under the name Flicks on 66, and briefly changed to DigiFest Southwest, before settling on the current name. Each year, the Shootout conducts an international competition for short scripts, 12 minutes or shorter, and selects seven to produce during the competition, held annually in July. Selected competitors are brought to Albuquerque and have one week to shoot, edit and premiere their finished movie.
