Danielle Panabaker Has a Time Lapse Flash
When not helping out insanely fast superheroes or fleeing from hockey-masked madmen, Danielle Panabaker has found some time to make movies. Read on for the skinny on her next one, Time Lapse.
From the Press Release:
XLrator Media (Jimi: All is By My Side, The Machine) has acquired North American distribution rights to the time travel thriller TIME LAPSE starring Danielle Panabaker (The CW’s “The Flash,” FX’s “Justified”), Matt O’Leary (Fat Kid Rules the World, Natural Selection), and George Finn (LOL). It will release the film in theaters and on VOD on May 15, 2015, on its acclaimed “MACABRE” genre label.
TIME LAPSE is the feature directorial debut of Bradley King, who co-wrote the script with BP Cooper. It was produced by BP Cooper and Rick Montgomery (Happy, Texas) and edited by Tom Cross, Academy Award®-winning editor of Whiplash. The film had its North American premiere at the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival and has won 25 awards at over 65 film festivals worldwide.
“A smart sci-fi thriller with a mind-bending premise, TIME LAPSE combines the ingenious structure of Memento with the dark comic irony of The Twilight Zone,” said XLrator Media CEO Barry Gordon. “It epitomizes the exciting new wave of independently produced sci-fi films that rely on original, clever stories and masterful filmmaking rather than mega-million-dollar visual effects budgets. Last year The Wall Street Journal reported extensively on this dynamic new filmmaking trend.”
TIME LAPSE explores the possibilities of time travel through a machine that is capable of taking pictures 24 hours into the future. When three friends discover this mysterious machine in their neighbor’s apartment, they encounter a number of pressing questions, not least of which is the whereabouts of their neighbor. Realizing the potential impact of the machine, Finn (Matt O’Leary), Jasper (George Finn), and Callie (Danielle Panabaker) attempt to cash in on their discovery. But when a dangerous criminal learns their secret, the friends must set aside their differences and confront the paradox of a future that was once predetermined and entirely uncertain. Using an engaging blend of action, humor, and philosophy, TIME LAPSE is an original thriller that not only keeps the audience guessing, but also explores questions of pre-determination, free will, and destiny.
“After a thrilling festival run around the globe, we are beyond excited to put the North American release of TIME LAPSE into the capable and creative hands of such a forward-thinking distributor as XLrator Media,” said filmmakers Bradley King and BP Cooper in a joint statement.
The deal was negotiated by XLrator Media’s Barry Gordon and Lea Flome with Paradigm Agency’s Ben Weiss and Meghan Oliver on behalf of the filmmakers.
