Movie Description
Former engineer Shane Carruth announces himself as a force to watch with PRIMER, his first film. Carruth wrote, directed, edited, produced, photographed, scored, and stars in the film, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. He plays Aaron, who, with his business partner and best friend, Abe (David Sullivan), experiments with a device that seems to have more power than they could ever have imagined. Playing with batteries, refrigeration, and other techniques and materials in Aaron's garage, they discover that their machine just might have the ability to move back in time. Originally dealing with Weebles figures and wristwatches, Aaron and Abe are soon considering making a box large enough to transport a human being--with remarkable results.


An indie hit, PRIMER was made for about $7,000. Carruth shot the film with a purposefully grainy look, as if it were made in the 1970s. The retro feel works well with the futuristic elements of the story, which lead Abe and Aaron to question reality, truth, and their own physical and mental being. Because he learned about film on his own without going to film school or making any previous shorts, Carruth brings a freshness to the genre that is invigorating, with unexpected plot twists and complex narratives that invite multiple viewings. PRIMER is an unusual, unique, challenging, and thoroughly entertaining movie.

Editorial Reviews
"[A]n alluringly knotty feature....[A] coolly ragged, adventurous project..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (10/15/2004)

"[A]n ingenious movie about the perils of ingenuity....The film is, technically speaking, science fiction, but of an unusually rigorous and unassuming kind."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (10/08/2004)

"PRIMER is one of those movies that's legendary on impact thanks to its felicitous combination of ingenuity, independence and dirt-cheapness."
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano (10/22/2004)

"[I]t's eminently watchable because writer-director Shane Carruth has an ear for the way hyperactive techies actually talk."
Movieline's Hollywood Life - Stephen Farber (12/01/2004)

"[T]he key to unlocking PRIMER is abandoning any attempt to solve the cinematic Rubik's Cube, and simply reveling in the inspired indie filmmaking."
Entertainment Weekly - Timothy Gunatilaka (04/22/2005)

"Carruth, both as an actor and as a one-man film industry, displays a meticulous attention to detail..."
Uncut - Kevin Maher (09/01/2005)

"Carruth can certainly stand comparison with the early David Cronenberg, another scientist turned filmmaker with a similar gift for transforming dry theoretical concepts into unexpectedly involving drama."
Sight and Sound - Michael Brooke (09/01/2005)

Ranked #27 in Uncut's Best Films Of 2005 -- "Shane Carruth's debut is a lo-fi brainteaser, rich in complex conundrums and mind-warping physics..."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (01/01/2006)

    One word. Unbelievable. Excellent. Outstanding. Okay that's three words.

    This is what one guy (one very talented and bright guy), with a few friends and 7 grand can do. Something that big budget Hollywood can't. Create a good thought provoking thriller. No wonder this movie won the Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004.

    The story seems easy to understand, two engineers, Abe and Aaron, are working on theories and concepts in Aaron's garage. All the while creating, they are trying to get published and recognized. They try to create one invention for one thing, believe it becomes another, and actually becomes a way of time travel. In between all of the engineer jargon you can see the possiblities beging to gell around the story.

    Trying to understand this movie after watching it once will leave you with a misunderstanding or at least having missed some very important things. Two times great, three times seems to be a charm. It's a story about endless possiblities and having the hindsight in life to do whatever you want. Will your altruistic and idealistic nature last? Will your relationships and that which you charish remain the same? Once you open Pandora's Box, what will you do with it, and are you very sure about your answer?

    Primer is confusing to you the viewer because Primer is confusing to the characters and the author/director/actor pulls it off in a way that helps you to dig through the confusion to make sense of it. It does take a bit, but is well worth it.
