- An astronaut on a mission to deep space discovers her life on Earth has changed.
THE JUMP is used with permission from Andy Sowerby. Learn more at andysowerby.net.
An astronaut travels alone on an innovative mission into deep space, where time and space begin to warp, slowing time down for her. She's also escaping a horrible loss back on Earth, and the isolation of space mirrors the isolation of her grief and sorrow.
Though she's alone, she receives disjointed, sometimes delayed messages from her loving husband. Thanks to the elasticity of time, he ages before her very eyes in his messages, emphasizing just how much faster time moves on Earth -- and how much the life she left behind is changing. As she faces the possibility of losing everything she loves entirely, she must confront the loss she left behind.
Director Andy Sowerby -- along with writers Uriel Emil and Rachael Halliwell -- have created a unique psychological portrait of love, grief and inner desolation. Framed by the time-bending astrophysics of the premise, the compact narrative meditates on just how much of love is based on sharing an experience as universal as time -- and how much it endures, even when you no longer find yourself in the same literal time and place with them.
Though there is an arc and a beginning, middle and end, the story isn't the driving force of the film, especially since much of the present-tense action is confined to the spaceship and one person.
But the film takes advantage of its constraints to create an unusually intimate, soul-bearing sci-fi vignette. The film bears many markers typical of the genre: gleaming, polished cinematography, minimalist set design, and genuinely breath-taking footage from NASA itself. But the focus is clearly on the tug and pull of the astronaut's heart as she reckons with the emotional implications of space travel.
The science fiction isn't incident to the emotional arc, though -- in fact, it's the inciting influence, forcing a gap between her and her husband back on Earth. As a result, the performances and screenplay are unusually unabashed and sincere for the genre -- but are genuinely moving once the full impact of the astronaut's travels are realized.
In a genre where the tech can often run away with the story at the expense of character and emotion, THE JUMP offers a resolutely emotional take, looking at how theoretical advances that could change the way we experience time will change the landscape of our inner lives. But even if travel into deep space never happens in our lifetimes or the next, it offers an exhortation to love and feel fully in the here and now -- because you never know when the time you share with loved ones will come to an end. - Фільми й анімація
Wow. If that was the same actor I think that’s the best makeup aging job I’ve ever seen.
G Blake Unfortunately it’s not… young Michael is Philip Arditti, old Michael is Raad Rawi
One of the best casting I’ve ever seen
"what's the point if we can't share it"
I’d like some sort of sequel to this. I just want to know what happens when/if she returns to Earth.
She'll find him deep in the grave rotting away!
My thought exactly. Disappointing.
They all 'ded'.
my interpretation , she gave him a new life when she said I will see you on the other side.
The message given in the film is. Don't get attached to the material body... Our material body is very fragile and temporary... What each one came to do on this planet was to evolve, rediscover what you are and help others to do the same. Our true body does not age...
Amazing scenery and compelling story
I shouldnt have watched this. It hits in the feels too hard. Im very sensitive to time and the fragile life we have in this world. I couldnt fathom to have left my wife behind in such a way.
That gave me chills.
Thank you, well done.
This was similar in theme to the Twilight Zone episode 'The Long Morrow'
I think it is based on albert einstein theory.... The time inside the craft that moves very very faster are superslow than the normal time in the earth,thats why the woman inside the craft are still looking younger than the man who contact or sending message to her
it is called time dilation
Interesting take on dedication
to discovery.
Sacrifices may have to be made.
Self-sacrifice is a honorable
emotion & experience.
I loved it.. I don't understand why more haven't watched it!
Love is what makes it all worth it...
Brilliant...!
Great job!
very moving....
Better than a full blown movie.
*STUNNING, GORGEOUS, PAINFULLY HONEST PERFECTION*
*PROLOGUE*
I've watched this several times over the last month. I've included my original post, mostly untouched, which was written just after I first saw this. The reason for not finishing the post is simple: I was overwhelmed. I'm not easily overwhelmed emotionally; more accurately, this was something new, foreign and unique. Art in any form is a connection between the artist and each person who experiences the connection. Whether we understand the experience, may not matter, because we are not who we were prior to our exposure. All forms of art define the many shades of grey within us individually and as a species.
Ancient images of human hand prints connect us to our progenitors at a basic level. Even if are the ancient version of 'Killroy was here', it is evidence of sophisocated linguistic skills, cooperation, and perhaps a peek into a level of cultural sophistocation in which something unrelated to the fight to survive, the need of an extended group to eat, evade predators, were briefly not as important as our ancestors thinking about an intimate desire to connect to the generations of humans to follow. The ancients demonstrate a working understanding of time, numeration and a need to ensure ideas lived past life's conclusion. It might be new for some: our ancient ancestors had a much larger brain than modern humans. So we learned. Learning augmented natural selection. Emotions developed before language otherwise no ancient art could inspire anything rather than being selected Imagine you are a soldier in combat. You hear the sound of hornets possess the ability to express in words
*ORIGINAL TEXT*
This is first and formost a love story. The female lead is blessed with an amazing voice and an angelic face. I'd be content just listening to her read soup lables. The male lead expressed the slow, deliberate desolation of the lighthouse keeper or the world flowing along times arrow. Is it possible to love someone who won't share so much as one nanosecond out of your life? It's the subtext of the film which is the lived experience of many people. Remove space travel and, off the top of my head, I could easily name a dozen medical conditions that mirror the circumstances of the lovers. This is a story about the death of the person whose existence, creates a unique bond which is as alive as the people who love. The birth scene could be both literal [while full term stillbirths are thakfully extremely rare, every untimely death / miscarriage is the death of hope, dreams and a future which often is much the same as death of any child] and symbolic [a deep loving mutually respectful relationship doesn't pop into and out of reality like a quantum partical] it's born, is powerful, new, and eventually dies. Or can that bond continue after the subject of that love dies.
Ask anyone who has lost a lover prematurely. Death can't be bargained with any more than time. In the tale, time dilation (another proven phenomenon of Einstein's Theory of general relativity) becomes more than context, it's a character separating the lovers far more completely than distance. This antagonist is a severed artery through which each lover haemorrhages equally in volume but not time. Neither character addresses a core decision that led to their situation: what occurred to cause them to step onto different paths where they could never return? Is there ever just one reason to leave the familiar reassuring scent of love?
I wasn't surprised that she advised him to find someone. But I'd have had that conversation before leaving. To truly love another is to be brutally honest with yourself. That was what happened eventually as she played every message in sequence. Yes, I know love transcends death. And I know every touch, every tear, and I would not be me if I stopped myself feeling such things.
This short should have a similar impact on anyone who has loved. Lighting, framing and script were the intruments expertly played so we could remember this master-class symphony. It's been my great delight to have experienced it.
Many thanks to everyone who brought this into the world, Mike
Very thoughtful
Mike C., Wow.. that is so so well written and thought thru. This is the first time i have ever commented on another comment..
but yours is much more than that. Thank you. For me what you have written is personal., and touched a cord.
I read with sadness .. and re read., And loved it. Thanks again Mike C. Alok, in Sri Lanka.
Wow Mike. Your comment made me feel how you were left feeling after first watching this. I love how your words formed here. Powerful, poetic, prophetic ... Thank you ❤
Very sad and touching.
This is a great movie it’s a mixer between Fast and furious 5 and Rambo
Well done..
She's getting younger
it's not really a discovery. she knew what she signed up for, including the effects of relativity
True
Why would you marry someone you know you will never see again?!
Time dilation
Very good
Pretty good.
Next Episode : husband goes to purgatory, she gets bored then she uses the ouija board to talk without interruption
Too many space pictures, not enough basic story.
He reminds me of veritasium
Brilliant..this was truly amazing!
This tory reminds me of the original Twilight Zone series episode "The Long Morrow"
Nina, next time try element 115, it let's you bend space time continuum so that won't happen, ..
well too late
I am sorry, but this one doesn't do it for me. I love science fiction for many years, but here is my summary. A married woman loses her baby at birth. So she gets on a spaceship, traveling vast distances. Her trip is all alone, so far, and she knows she will die in space. During her short trip (compared to earth time) she watches her husband age, and die. He dies, she dies, the baby died. So basically she destroys the lives of all three people. Is that good science fiction?
Why no one watch this. This is so awesome. I love this type of movieeee
❤️❣️❤️
I would love to discuss this but it seems that a soliloquy to the wind would be a bit of a futile effort just now......
Need a short film showing... the other side.
..❤ see you on the other side my love
See you on the other side my love
Superb graphics ❤

Interstellar?*
Why no comments? Is everyone confused? Ummm first ... I guess?? ... 🤷♀️
Dead channel
Your basic relativity illustrated.
You're still subject to the corporeal world...
Let Jesus free you.
Insanely anticlimactic.
Yeah, that's true for a lot of short film scifi. This film's topic has been covered in other films. In fact, there is a regular Omeleto film that covers this better. It's that film with the young mother dressed red, and she goes off into space and comes back every 7 years.
Interstellar did it much better............ 🙃
if only western women were as emotionally loyal..
We are, but u are shallow and don’t want the women who are loyal, supportive and stable
Man it's to bad space is completely faked. I would love to travel in space but good luck getting past the dome...
