Primer

Created on a shoestring budget ($7,000) and shot in a variety of locations, mostly parents garage, living room and brothers flat, director, writer, producer, editor, and star, Shane Carruth has created something special.

Plot: Four engineers/friends have their own company, run from the garage and kitchen, the group try to create a devise to minimise weight. By happenstance, two of the men discover that what they have actually created experiences time differences, it seems they have created a time machine.

Watching this film, you feel transported. The script and acting are top notch, while the cinematography gives a dulled/empty feeling that mirrors the story brilliantly.

Gross: $424,760

Fun Fact: A smash hit at the 2004 Edinburgh International Film Festival.
