What is Timewriter About
When a typewriter time machine arrives at Charlotte Wyatt’s doorstep and sends her 1944 to prevent a murder, she must face her agoraphobia to rewrite the past and her future before she also becomes a victim.
The Timewriter Origin Story
Friendship is the seed for which Timewriter exists as a concept, script and soon a film. It all began when award-winning actress, Melany Smith asked her friend, award-winning playwright, Ryan Luevano if he would be interested in writing a short film to showcase her acting skills. His response to this “simple” favor was an astounding “yes!” With no specific idea in mind, they met to discuss the project. In that meeting, Ryan mentioned that he just bought a 1940s Remington typewriter and that it could be cool to use it in the film. From a typewriter as a starting point, the story for Timewriter was born.
