LIMITED EDITION PACKAGING VERSION. Former engineer Shane Carruth announces himself as a force to watch with 'Primer', his first film. Carruth wrote, directed, edited, produced, photographed, scored, and stars in the film, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. He plays Aaron, who, with his business partner and best friend, Abe, experiments with a device that seems to have more power than they could ever have imagined. Playing with batteries, refrigeration, and other techniques and materials in Aaron's garage, they discover that their machine just might have the ability to move back in time. Originally dealing with Weebles figures and wristwatches, Aaron and Abe are soon considering making a box large enough to transport a human being - with remarkable results. An indie hit, 'Primer' was made for about seven thousand U.S. Dollars. Carruth shot the film with a purposefully grainy look, as if it were made in the 1970s. The retro feel works well with the futuristic elements of the story, which lead Abe and Aaron to question reality, truth, and their own physical and mental being. Because he learned about film on his own without going to film school or making any previous shorts, Carruth brings a freshness to the genre that is invigorating, with unexpected plot twists and complex narratives that invite multiple viewings. 'Primer' is an unusual, unique, challenging, and thoroughly entertaining movie.

Independent sci-fi drama. Abe (David Sullivan) and Aaron (Shane Carruth) are two young engineers who work in an anonymous city for a large corporation and who in their spare time conduct their own scientific experiments in their garage. While working on a device that will block the gravitational pull of an object and so reduce its apparent mass the two scientists discover an extraordinary side-effect that allows them to manipulate time. Immediately taking advantage of this opportunity they are soon having to deal with its consequences and with its effect on their strained working relationship.
