Synopsis: ‘It’s dark in here. Pitch black. Silent. This is where it all began and where it all ends. Perhaps, though, it isn’t as simple as that. We see our lives, the moments from our birth to our death, as a straight line – never bending, never curving. Those are old ideas though and now it is time for you to discard them and imagine more. It’s time to open your eyes to the possibility that time isn’t a simple ruler, ticking off the moments between the beginning and the end. Time is a line, a loop, a tangle of threads, a sculpture of dazzling complexity.’

Stephen is a brilliant young scientist who lives in England, in what appears to be the 1930s – but nothing in Stephen’s life is quite as it seems. A tragic event leads Stephen to become obsessed with finding a way to revisit his past. Love, jealously, desire and greed surround him, clouding his judgement and sending him spiraling towards madness.

Dimensions: A Line, A Loop, A Tangle of Threads stars Henry Lloyd-Hughes (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Inbetweeners, Anna Karenina), Camilla Rutherford (Gosford Park, Rome) and Patrick Godfrey (Les Misérables, Remains of the Day, The Duchess, A Room with a View).

FROM THE DIRECTOR
Sloane U’Ren

After many years in the film and television industry, both in the U.K. and the U.S., it’s long been an ambition of mine to direct. Of course, everyone wants to direct, so I had two options…wait for an
opportunity to land on the door mat (not likely!) or make it happen.

Ant and I spent a long time discussing the implications of selling our home and putting well over a year of our l ives into the film. We soon came to the realization that we could either go on talking
about it or we could take a leap of faith – so leap we did.

I’ve always been a fan of science fiction, but didn’t want to make a purely ‘concept’ based film- I was much more interested in telling a story about people who happen to be in a world that we term
‘sci-fi’. Of course, what is sci-fi today becomes reality tomorrow, and it is that quest for knowledge and the price you must pay that is at the heart of the film. I like to say that Dimensions isn’t about
time travel per se, it is about the desire to time travel. What fascinated me about Ant’s script were the relationships between the characters and what they were going through.

For me personally, the best films are those in which you care about the characters and my goal with Dimensions was to get the audience to invest emotionally. Thanks to an absolutely amazing cast
and crew, I think we got there!

FROM THE WRITER
Ant Neely

Almost twenty years ago, I sat next to my mother’s bed on one of her last days and asked, what I was soon to realize, a stupid question.

“You’ve accomplished so much in your life. What more could you want to have done?”

She duly reeled off a long list of places she wished she had seen, things she wished she had experienced, and people she would like to have met. I promised myself, there and then, that if I ever got a few minutes to reflect before my last breath, I would make sure my list was as short as possible.

Years have flown by and, yes, I have done a lot of the things I wanted to – but certainly not enough to warrant a short list. As I approach the age at which my mother died, I wonder if that is the impetus
for this adventure. My wife Sloane and I have often talked of making our own film. Over the years, we have been fortunate enough to enjoy working on so many other people’s movies, but still, over late night glasses of red wine, the conversation turned to ‘our’ films. Finally, we decided it was time to take the plunge.

Making a film is an expensive undertaking and our only real option was to sell our home to help fund it. It all seems a little nuts until you remember – life is short. Thanks to the enormous support of our family and friends, our colleagues and a few other investors, we are on the way.
