The Time Traveler

by Nathan Whitcomb and Alejandro Alvarez, directed by Nathan Whitcomb

This short black-and-white homage to The Twilight Zone of the 60s finds Cold-War-era test pilot Carter Cartwright’s as a stressed-out Air Force time traveler whose marriage has frayed to the point where his wife is ready to leave. Naturally, he takes matters into his own hands with one last trip that’s designed to set things right with Bonnie. I didn’t follow what happened in that trip, although do I have one idea involving a self-defeating act)—but I’m not confident enough in my interpretation to do anything but let you come to your own conclusions.

The cinematographer, Dillon Morris, posted the film on his Vimeo channel in May of 2009 and indicated that it was his senior thesis project at Chapman University.

INDEXER NOTES (SPOILERS!)
  • Release—based on three references—the release date of May 2009 that we saw on <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F7148474'>Dillon Morris’s Vimeo Channel</a>, the special thanks to Chapman University Goldroom in the credits, and a mention of <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fissuu.com%2Fchapmanu%2Fdocs%2Fchapmanuni_fall2015_r2_-_11-12-15%2F42'>Dillon Morris</a> as a Chapman University BFA Film Production graduate in 2009—we believe this is a high-end student production from Chapman University.
