Some great nightmarish sequences in here. Really liked when the table moved into him and trapped him. Good atmospheric short. 

Very cool film, excelent cinematography and editing. 

Good in every way, except for the audio of the dialogue at the end. Not that I speak Finnish, lol, but I've visited there. Also coincidental is that your submission and mine have the same title, yet are so totally different! Please watch MY entry, 'Deadline'. 

Beautiful choreographed shots. Simple idea taken with great artistic merit. 

This film totally captures the essence of the dream where you think you're awake -- very scary! I really enjoyed it and the shots were amazing. 

Funky exploration of the nightmare dream state. Editing and compositional choices added to the effect. ------Director of 'The Time Is Now'-------- 

Very cool! Great shots, editing, concept. Enjoyable and well-done, my one little issue: the end sequence after he wakes could use trimming, would be stronger if the friend tells him all in one go to get his act together, call work, Leena, etc., and hands him the phone decisively, the CUT to black. One of my favorite films so far. Check out mine: "The Course."

A good nod to Stanley Kubrick, with the 2001 poster in the background. I see the inspiration. -short listed 

Thanks for the comments. As a new member I wasn't sure must that 3min include also the closing titles, so just in case I cut the info about the crew away... (hate being so obedient). This seems to be only place to put it, so... CREW: Mikko: Lauri Konttori Leena: Vanessa Riki Man with a knife: Aki Mäkiaho Mikko's friend: Joonas Saartamo Writing, Directing & Editing: Timo Nissi Cinematography: Italo Moncada Gaffer: Antti Janhunen Sound Recording: Teemu Ropilo & Antti Onkila Sound Design: Timo Nissi & Teemu Ropilo 

brilliant shots in between ..it was so professional like a 70 mm film running... 

Absolutely brillant, good script a lot of good ideas. You deserve to win. 

Time keep rolling in (Kosheen - I want it all) is playing write now as I write this in internet-caffe. My favorite film from those I saw. I would not praise you, I would just say that emotion certainly reached me without mistake, although I was thinking about unresolved ending and it connection with time limit which I did not like, but I understand it if you wanted to run before we catch you. Perfect end is a line: Just roll it (full point). But it also shows that you have more material which we would not find out about, unless you do something about it...Good bye and good luck!
