What’s in the Box?: Brilliant Sci-Fi Short

This is a very mysterious short film by a YouTube user called Timacious. It’s connected with a website that appears to be some kind of puzzle. I have no idea what’s going on here, but I loved watching the film. The first-person point of view works so well that it may in fact be the best first-person film I’ve ever seen. The chase is brilliantly staged and the locations are totally convincing. It seems like something’s gone out of control at a lab and there’s some sort of time warp or black hole opening up above the city. The character is being pursued by people with gas masks and hazmat suits. He’s also got some bizarre magic box that appears to send energy out toward the disturbance in the sky.

Totally brilliant little film. I want more.
