What Happens

A man alone in the office late one night. The piles of paper seem to get bigger, not smaller. There’s just not enough time to do all of it. Suddenly, he sneezes, and poof- the paper is already filled out? How did that happen? He tries it again, and it works. He can skip time ahead! 

What could go wrong? 

Commentary

If this was actual time travel, then he’d have had to actually do that work at some point, right? Then again, it’s never a good idea to think too hard about time travel– it might give you a nosebleed. 

This fun, nicely made international short has no dialogue, but you can always tell exactly what’s happening. 

It’s fun!
