About This Movie

Stop/Eject/Rewind is this quirky little short that blends dark comedy with a sci-fi twist, all wrapped in a unique visual style. The pacing is deliberately off-kilter, which really complements the protagonist’s awkwardness. You’ve got this young guy who’s trying to impress his coworker by building a time machine—definitely not your usual rom-com setup. The performances have this raw, unpolished vibe, which makes the characters feel relatable even as the plot spirals into absurdity. Practical effects play a key role, adding a tactile layer to the futuristic elements. It’s a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also nudges at deeper themes about time, relationships, and the lengths we go to for love.
