Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead ("Spring", "The Endless") stop by to talk about their newest film, "Synchronic", starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. It's all about the mechanics and consequences of synthetically induced time travel through a past that fights you.

The guys talk about choosing New Orleans and making use of the history's rich history and conglomeration of many different culture, superstitions and supernatural events, looking at the relationships and experiences as being tied to the past and the effects of holding on to the past instead of living for now and the future, and much more. 

What elements of time travel stories appeal to you the most? Let us know! Call 602-635-6976 and leave a message, send Summer an email, or in the comments below!
