REMINDER
Short: Sci-Fi/Thriller
After experiencing a series of eerie distortions in time and reality, a man haunted by déjà vu races to prevent a tragic accident, only to discover he’s trapped in an inescapable loop where his fate—and the woman he loves—are intertwined in a chilling cycle of repetition and regret.
Luke’s mornings always start the same: wake up, silence the alarm at 6:15 AM, and follow the same precise routine. But today feels...off. A shadowy figure in the mirror. A cryptic post-it note: “CALL KRISTEN BEFORE 1:03 PM.” And time itself seems to glitch—clocks flicker backward, strangers repeat the same actions, and the world around him stutters like a broken record.
When Luke finally calls Kristen, the line goes dead, and a breaking news alert reveals a pedestrian accident at Weston & King at 1:03 PM. Panicked, Luke races to the location, weaving through a city that feels like it’s collapsing in on itself. Pedestrians move in eerie loops, and familiar faces—a cyclist with a blue helmet, a woman spilling coffee—haunt him like déjà vu.
REMINDER is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that explores the fragility of time, the weight of inevitability, and the lengths we go to for love. It’s Groundhog Day meets Donnie Darko, with a twist that will leave you questioning every second of your own life.
