The Alien Robot Who Found Himself On A Post-Apocalyptic Earth

The Alien Robot Who Found Himself On A Post-Apocalyptic Earth

Time Trap is an sci-fi comedy that looks like it was made for the big screen rather than for its humble place online.

The short film follows Fripp, a robot-alien, as he loses control of his spaceship mid-flight and finds himself on a post-apocalyptic earth. Specifically, Sydney.

Without a working spacecraft, Fripp must find a way to fix his machine and head back home using his only resource -- a time-travel device that allows him to dip back into Earth's history.

It's an Aussie made film by Kiwi writer/director Michael Shanks, and the description alone should make your mind boggle at how they managed the production values for an online-indie film.
