    Time Trap with Ben Foster and Mark Dennis

    Welcome back to the Business of Film podcast, episode #81. On this episode we talk with co-directors Ben Foster and Mark Dennis and do a case study of their mind-bending sci-fi film Time Trap. The film is about a group of archaeology students trapped inside a mysterious cave where time passes differently underground than on the surface. Ain’t It Cool News called it “a mind-bending shift in the space time continuum”. IndieWire called it an “innovative new sci-fi adventure that rips apart both space and time at its very seams.” So yah, it’s fun. I saw it. I really enjoyed it. And I was excited to tear through the fabric of time and figure out how they did it. CHECK OUT THE TRAILER: Lots of great stuff here. Connect with us on INSTAGRAM or any other social @Crafttruck
