About the film
The Triumph of time - Chapter 1 is the first of three stories that introduce the time machine "Omega" (5.00 min' of 85 min' script).
the Idea was developed by Ortal sasson and the script was written by Ortal Sasson and Ori Haddad.
During the writing Ortal and Ori encountered strange life changing events.
writing has never been so powerful - written drafts were fulfilled and then re-written in order to correct the current time line.
These life changing events identical to the written work got us realizing the power of writing.
Light being Creation and Production Company got its philosophical mission:
To spread the idea of human control over his own destiny.
The first chapter was filmed in September 6th 2015 at Hertzeliya, Israel. As a part of Improaction 6 contest of short film production with 2 submission rules: 1. under 5:00 min' (introduction and cradits not counted), 2. Cast of the 4th year students at Impro- acting school. The film was completed at the same day of submission, as a race against time.
The short film (chapter 1) is designated to be a feture film with another 2 chapters that take place in the future. 2025 story of the Beta year experiment (chapter 2) and 2026 story of the 2nd Dimension of Omega multi-verse (chapter 3).
The Idea is expended in this site as a pragmatic / theoretical physics but it is still completely fictional.
Currently looking for Producers to complete the Feature Film.
If you are a Producer interested in reading the 85 min' script, contact us.
The Original Script of Chapter 1 is available Here.
Interview with Itay Cohen, Ortal Sasson and Ori Hadad
Questions by Ted Strauss
Tell me about your movie. Who are the central characters and what are they dealing with?
Itay: The Film is about a young analyst called Alex, who gets invited to join a high society club who has some control on Time. He can receive messages from the past and future. He misunderstands his message and he needs to do deal with the consequences.
Where did this story / concept come from?
Ortal: The origin of the Omega Time machine is classified. but when Ori and I started writing about it, we thought about life and time, as forces in infinite space. the physics is completely fictional.
Is there anything about the cinematography, effects, production design that is essential to the concept of your piece?
Itay:Because there are so little special effects films in Israel, we had so little to work with and we had to come up with our own artistic Ideas. The only special effect needed for the story and in the Film is the one where Alex disappears, and re appears. the rest of the effects are the cinematography that gives us the cold atmosphere.
Who are some filmmakers or artists you admire? Were there some defining moments in your personal history that led to you making this work?
Itay: I come from the drama genre, and I really wanted to try something new. I am more than happy that I did. I’m in love with Steven Spielberg, Tarantino.
Ortal: I love reading Michio Kaku, and popular science, Sci Fi is my natural language. That is why no-one understand me and
It's a miracle Itay gets me. I would also add Wes Anderson to Itay’s list.
What’s your relationship to the indie Filmmaking community/scene? Card carrying member? Contrarian loner?
Ortal: We made this Film as a part of a contest of short films produced by the Improv acting studio. it is our first Film, and it is a preview for a feature that we intend to make. International recognition might help us get producers to invest in our film, the short Chapter 1 is only the edge of our Story. Film is an International language.
Any crazy stories from the production of your film?
Itay: There is a sex scene that remained at the editing room floor.
Ori: We received a distorted message from the future about making the Film, we are still trying to figure it out.
Ortal: Ori and I both wrote our own future, and we can't expend on thet.
Ori: We are scared of the lottery curse so we will not test it. rule no 2.
