More About "10 Minute Time Machine":
George nervously waits for Lori to show up for their date, an engagement ring sitting heavily in his pocket. But when she arrives with news that she’s found a time machine that allows them to travel 10 minutes back in time, their imaginations run wild with how they can put it to use. When they realize the time machine is even more powerful than they thought, past and future versions of themselves appear with advice how to use it. What will they do in the face of adventure, fortune, love, and loss? Only time will tell.

Her future self said "we can't have both"
So she chose love over money.
Beautiful message here.

It's been quite a while since Dust showed a film with a happy ending. I dig it. Very intriguing storyline. Thoughtfully made. If only real life was so easily manipulated. Well done. Keep it up.

[malcolmkogut]

One of the most enjoyable time travel shorts I have seen.

[JameyAston]

I loved this one. As others have said, so many DUST shorts end in a completely unsatisfactory way. This one told a complete story and was very well done. Excellent work.

[apexmcboob]

Well done! Rare for a Dust short to have a structured ending, and a happy one at that!

[DaveH]

Loved this short. Kevin's greed was heading toward trouble at first, but thankfully Lesley put an end to that. I'm one of the lucky ones who gave up just about everything for true love 30 years ago and I haven't regretted it once. Well done!

[danawhite]

It's always nice when a Dust film isn't depressing or has rough ending. While those are entertaining, there are a lot of them. THIS film was a lot of fun.

[jkyoft]

This was so well done.

Excellent story. Very good audio. Acting was very good and the characters were very likable.

Nice pace, good length (no extra stuff), self-contained - no loose ends, no un-connected dots.

Dabbled slightly with the 'greed' concept, but really didn't stray too far from the main path of the love they had between them....very nice.

One of the better films I have seen on YouTube, top 5-10% in my opinion. Clever and fresh, not the same old same old.

Great take away feeling for me....this would be a great Valentine Day movie to watch.

[tuberobotto]

Now that's a really good short. The premise, plot and ending made clear, no ambiguities (except of course the origin of the time machine), it's like a full feature in synopsis length. Like it. Wish this would be a trend at Dust.

Congratulations to Charles Wahl and his "out of this pub" team. Lesley and Kevin performance is great, script and dialogues are sublime, the ambience sound effects and music are polite and very well matched. Great exposition and narration effort, considering that the shortfilm lasts approximately 10 minutes, about the dilemma of what we want and what suits us.

Congratulations to Canada and The National Screen Institute.

Thank you 🤍UST.

[jhill]

I saw this over a year ago from a different source. Still nice to see a sci-fi short with a happy ending.

[Dddmdjdndjdjdm]

Thank you guys for the free short films every week, that's just insane.

[zoxin]

Now this is wholesome! Please keep making more of ones like this!

[baseman]

Have I travelled in time because I've seen this before and loved it. 😉

[Tukaro]

Super cute! Managed to explain just enough so the viewer understood implications without digging in anywhere deep, fun and actually had a happy ending.

Well, unless we start talking about parallel timelines...

[leightonscycles]

Hard to imagine anyone being so careless with such a powerful thing as that. Reminds me of an old Twilght Zone episode where a man finds a stopwatch tat freezes time. He freezes time and while robbing a bank drops and breaks the watch.

[maruiscordier]

That was a very sweet story, a ten min well spent.... thanks to the cast and production team...

[kaihansen]

Wow! That was as touching as "One week with Rebecca". Well, that was still a bit better.
Well done.

[earlbigod]

Arrgghh! The beautiful and simple story is paradoxically complex! Loved it.

[grejen]

Unpredictable until the last few seconds. Loved it.
