Counter Clockwise - Trailer from artsploitation on Vimeo .  By inventively merging mind-bending science fiction with dark comedy, COUNTER CLOCKWISE delivers a hugely entertaining thriller about a befuddled time travelling scientist caught up in a murder mystery. Bearded scientist Ethan Walker is obsessively working on inventing a tele-transportation device. Instead he stumbles into inventing a time machine and recklessly zaps himself six months into the future. Ethen finds that the future has taken a sinister tone as men are out to kill him and the police are looking for him for the murder of his sister and wife. He now needs to try to return to the point right before everything went wrong and solve the mysteries. Easier said than done. An inventive, head-scratching, fast-paced American Indie time-travelling gem.   http://www.artsploitationfilms.com/film/counter-clockwise/ Counter Clockwise T-Shirt by Artsploitation

An Interview with George Moïse, Director & Co-Writer of Counter Clockwise Counter-Clockwise on Sale at Artsploitation Films Your new film Counter Clockwise - in a few words, what is it about?   Here’s the logline I’ve said a million people: A scientist accidentally invents time travel and is zapped 6 months in the future. But it’s a dark, upside-down world where people are trying to kill him and he’s framed for the deaths of his wife and sister. He must go back in time to uncover the mystery and rewrite history. What were your inspirations when writing Counter Clockwise , and are you at all a fan of time travel stories in whatever medium - and did you do any kind of research on the subject? Well my brother Walt (co-story, producer, editor) came up with the idea. He’s a huge sci-fi fan and had read a Philip K. Dick short story that was sort of like this. I actually don’t know wh...

Coffee, Coffee, and More Coffee Review of Counter-Clockwise I was glad to see that in the "Making of . . ." supplement for Counter Clockwise , writer-director George Moise acknowledged, among other films, Nacho Vigalongo's Time Crimes from 2007. The two films have somewhat similar premises with a man going into the future, and pursuing himself in the attempt to prevent a future crime. The biggest difference is that Vigalongo kept everything compact, with the action taking place within a very specific space, with a small number of characters. Moise takes his main character and his clones through the outskirts of Los Angeles, with a larger number of characters encompassing a much larger space. While films with characters caught in time loops, finding themselves repeating situations, have been around since at least the 1930s, Moise uses a visual queue from what may be the first film to show time traveling characters within the same space. That f...

What were your sources of inspiration when writing Counter Clockwise ? It was interesting because I entered as a writer into a script that all ready existed. George already had a great structure and story. So my desire was to influence the world that it takes place in, the characters and possibly other random circumstances that could enhance the plot. So my influences weren't really time travel movies. Though I watched a shit ton of them to catch up. Mind you the reality of the movie takes place technically in a sorta 'day in the life of this guy', a really screwed up day in the life, but nonetheless so, I drew from movies like After Hours , Pulp Fiction , the Twin Peaks series, road trip movies as well as many of my own experiences with people I've met traveling.

1.  What was your inspiration for the story of Counter-Clockwise? A Philip K. Dick short story where a character who's living in a future world walks through an invisible time rift and goes back in time. Then I combined that idea with an idea of making a low budget movie where you could use locations again and again where you setup a character and a world, he went into the future 6 months, a whole crazy 2nd Act where things are dark and dangerous and upside down and then the 3rd Act would be going back to the day it all went wrong and solving everything, or maybe not. 2.  How is this different from other time travel shows, like Back to the Future and Doctor Who? Compared to those works of  sic-fi, ours is much more gritty and dark and weird.  3.  What was the most challenging element of getting Counter-Clockwise made? Of course probably getting the money together but more importantl...

Artsploitation Interview w/ George Moise, Director of Counter-Clockwise Pre-Order Counter-Clockwise HERE 1.  What was your inspiration for the story of Counter-Clockwise? Well, the inspiration came from Walt. He's a big Philip K. Dick fan and read a short story that inspired him. Instead of a time machine it was like a rift in spacetime where someone walked through it and appeared in the future. I added the time machine, but the core concept of a guy traveling 6 months in the future to a dark upside down world is all Walt.  2.  How is this different from other time travel shows, like Back to the Future and Doctor Who? I've only seen one episode of Dr. Who so I really couldn't comment on it. As far as Back to the Future, in that movie Marty goes back 30 years, in our movie Ethan goes forward 6 months. Also, the creation of time travel is an accident in our movie, whereas Doc worked towards that goal for 30 years.  3. ...
