““In many ways the script is objectively bad,” Walker joked to IndieWire.”
““Chronovisor” is now playing in theaters.”
“So our process of going down that rabbit hole inspired the story,” Auen said.”
“As any project that tries to use text messages as plot points finds out, it is really hard to make text onscreen look cool or even interesting.”
“Powered by WordPress.com VIP A Real Page Turner ‘Chronovisor’ Directors Measured Twice and Cut Film Once to Tell a Text-Based Thriller Directors Jack Auen and Kevin Walker tell IndieWire about using every page and graphic to spin a conspiracy thriller from the archival evidence of a time-travel hoax.”
“In order to pull that off, Auen and Walker really had to finesse the assembly of their archival material and the pacing of its reveals, well before they had a roll of film or had even cast their protagonist.”
““We really did mimic the journey that Beatrice goes on in the film for several months, just the two of us, before putting it onto film.”
““All the formal choices and narrative choices and Beatrice’s psychological profile were an extension of that initial formal choice, and created sort of this domino effect.” “Kevin and I talk often about what it is that gets us attached to an idea and makes it worth making a movie about, because you deal with a lot of headache and heartbreak,” Auen added.”
“Unlike a lot of bad scripts, however, the film that Walker and Auen created is a spare, lean, captivating thriller — powered in large part by real archival materials that the directors gathered, and then made come alive on screen in the way the idea of time-travel comes alive in the mind of their protagonist.”
“This is true in life, and this is true in “ Chronovisor ,” the film written, directed, and edited by Jack Auen and Kevin Walker .”

“But whether working with text onscreen, faking archival material, or simply letting an image breathe long enough for the audience to project character psychology onto it, Walker and Auen see their work as directors as a little bit closer to curators of many different kinds of media and influences, rather than simply image-makers.”
“She goes further and further to find out if indeed it still exists.”
“It’s in this beguiling atmosphere, shot lovingly on 16mm film by cinematographer Leo Zhang and set to (budget-friendly) pulls from Gustav Holst’s “The Planets,” Beatrice slowly falls through a knowledge wormhole around a ( real !) device called The Chronovisor.”
“‘Chronovisor’ Grasshopper Film But a healthy chunk of the film is just Beatrice looking at books and old magazines; the text appears on screen, pieces of it highlighted at a speed that creates the illusion of illumination from within, like those bits of information simply caught our eyes and lit up, with some hidden import.”
