UNREASON BY CHRIS READING, MADE FOR THE SFL 48HR FILM CHALLENGE
Released on 28 March 2025 Time Travel Is Dangerous is a wildly entertaining sci-fi comedy with sharp humour, clever twists, and a fantastic cast. Directed by Chris Reading, the film is based on his original short, which was created for the SCI-FI-LONDON 48-Hour Film Challenge, our film competition that is known for producing innovative and imaginative short films in a weekend!
Time Travel Is Dangerous is coming to UK cinemas from 28th March
Back in 2019, when we could meet and party, the 48hr awards were held at Stratford Picturehouse – check out this video chat with the 2019 winners.
There is no better thing you can do than take part in a 48hr challenge, ‘cos the worst that can happen is you’ll have made a film by Monday!
At 11am (UK time) on challenge day 1, we will give you the TITLE of the film you will make, a PROP list, a line of DIALOGUE and an optional IDEA/THEME. You then have until Monday to WRITE, SHOOT and DELIVER your complete 5-minute film.
