- Time Lapse by Bradley King and BP Cooper, directed by Bradley King (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, 19 April 2014).
Three friends stumble across a camera that produces pictures from 24 hours in the future. That no-good Jasper thinks to use it to make a fortune with his bookie, while painter Finn is happy to see a painting that he’s going to paint, resulting in a nice example of the artist paradox. And Callie has her own agenda going on. From there, the plot turns into a gory thriller where whatever the photos show, the three friends must make happen or they will die as Mr. B. did, all while the bookie’s henchmen threaten them all.
—Michael Main
Mr. B. invented a camera that takes pictures of the future.
