THE FIRST TIME I NEVER MET YOU

Drama/Sci-Fi | Short Film | 14 mins

But can he win-over the woman who fell for the man that he no longer is?”

THE FIRST TIME I NEVER MET YOU is a moving time-travel story. It touches on themes of grief, love, and loss, but also takes a bold stance on one of the genre’s common paradoxes.
