Scott Sawitz’s time bending Indie Flick Save State drops its first trailer
Trying to save his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, a desperate man with a time machine keeps attempting to save a doomed relationship while endeavoring to figure out what went wrong.
It’s strange what happens when you reach out to a parent during a COVID lockdown.
Several months after ending the most significant romantic relationship of his life and deep into the “regret phase,” writer/director Scott Sawitz kept wondering if it was the right call.
He and a co-worker joked about the craziness of that initial COVID era and Sawitz posited that maybe, just maybe, it was someone with a time machine trying to stop their girlfriend from leaving them and kept screwing up. And then, what if he had that same opportunity? What would it change, how would they have changed, etcetera, flashed through his mind.
A first draft was born that night.
“I was excited reading the draft that Scott sent me originally. When Scott proposed that we go all in and make this into a film, I was very excited to see where it would lead. Watching the film now, this is the best work we’ve ever done.” – Mike Noyes, producer.
“My father, the voice of reason, pointed out that we had issues going well beyond that one moment in time where everything just came together. I kept thinking what if someone had tried to do just that… find that moment when it ended, to try to save their relationship. My idea was eventually they’d have to go back beyond that, to address all their issues, but maybe a particularly stubborn person would use that moment to do anything to keep it going (without the requisite work involved). I began outlining the first version of what became Save State.”
“Save State” is the badass love child of “Clerks” and “Source Code” that got to spend the day with their cool uncle “Groundhog Day.”
It’s all about the fallout of the end of Chris (Gabriel Fries) and Veronica’s (Jessie Ann Carl) decade long relationship.
WATCH THE TRAILER BELOW
After years of growing apart, Veronica walks away from their relationship for a new job, and a new life, in San Francisco. Wanting a moment of closure, she walks back into their rented townhouse to return her keys and try to have an amicable goodbye. Her best friend Stephanie (Nickie Kruszinski) urges her to just forget about him and begin their epic road trip across the country. Veronica thinks she knows better and a simple attempt at closure turns into another fight.
A year later, Chris is still stuck on her. She’s the love of his life, or so he thinks. His best friend Daniel (Ilya Gaidarov) has an idea that captures Chris’s fancy: a time displacement device.
Able to go back to a specific moment in time for ten minutes or less, Daniel designed it so he could go back and say goodbye to his father.
Focused on the moment she walked out of his life for good, Chris tries out Daniel’s time machine to see if it’ll work. When it does, he selfishly decides to go back to try and stop her from leaving him. When it fails, he’s left with one goal: keep trying until it works. As his attempts mount up, and the changes in the timestream go from small to large, Chris will keep trying to get what he wants by going back to that moment.
But is it what he needs?
