Science Fiction
Primer (released in 2004) is Shane Carruth's first feature film.
The story goes thus: Two young inventors, Aaron and Abe have a high-tech start-up. They project normal science-geek personas onto the world, but behind their rapid-fire science talk, issued with an air of cool authority, they hide their real invention, which is an anti-gravity device.
The device is conceived as an aid for aviation, but it turns out, Frankenstein-style, into something else--a time machine.
Carruth's arch concern: the endurance of personal identity despite breaks in the thread of consciousness.
