A Pause In Time — Short Film
A Pause In Time is a romantic, time-bending short film that explores memory, choice, and the bittersweet ache of loving someone across lifetimes. Layla, a young woman caught between timelines, revisits a pivotal summer where she first met Frank — a rugged yet wounded soul she would come to love deeply. The story unfolds through Layla’s eyes as she relives fleeting, tender moments that shaped their connection before time pulled them apart. As Layla returns to the present, she faces the haunting realization that even love cannot stop the passage of time — but maybe, just maybe, love can transcend it. The film is grounded in intimacy, poetic emotion, and the beauty of small choices that echo across years. Payment for actors are still being discussed.
