BEYOND THE INFINITE TWO MINUTES MOVIE REVIEW

What would you do if you had the ability to see through time? How would you help yourself in the past, if you could speak from the future? Would you attempt to change anything? Affect the world around you? Or, ya know, goof off with your friends and spend the night treating this window across time and space like a new toy? Forget the world ending threat of SkyNet. Forget erasing yourself from existence after stopping your parents from meeting. Instead, pull up a computer monitor in a Japanese cafe and play a few light hearted pranks on yourself. Find out if you should ask the girl next door to a show. Maybe win a lotto scratcher. Chad, Lewayne, Bradley, and T.C. keep the stakes low as they discuss a cafe owner who discovers that the TV in his restaurant suddenly shows images from the future, but only two minutes into the future. And if that doesn’t hook you, The Squad also sings the praises for this debut indie feature presented in “real time”, like Birdman, but with far less visual effects.

You can also check out the review with Chris, Alan, and Drew from last year’s Fantastic Fest here.

Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)

Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment. All the pain and suffering of this business is worth it, if even just one person views his work. Chad is a frequent podcaster, most notably posing as a co-host for the podcast “The Film Illogical Society.”

 

 

Lewayne White (Screener Squad)

Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.

 

 

Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)

Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films,
