BOOTSTRAPPED

Directed by Katy Erin
USA | 7 min
Science Fiction

A physicist travels back in time to try to save her relationship – and in turn, the world.

Director Statement
I made this film as a challenge to myself to tell a science fiction story for under $100 total budget. I gathered my friends, borrowed my ex’s apartment (it’s a long story), and we shot everything on mobile phones. All things considered, I think we ended up with a fun and funny little short that accidentally turned out to be a bit more relevant than anticipated… but I’ll let you be the judge.
