🎬 Time Was

🎬 Time Was is the haunting nature of memory and the search for a place to truly belong. Beth (Eleanor Barr-Sim) is a young woman looking for a fresh start after a painful breakup. She pours her energy into renovating an old, neglected house, hoping that fixing the building will help fix her life. However, she soon begins to experience eerie, unexplainable disturbances that make her feel she isn't alone. The atmosphere is eerie, slow-burning, and deeply romantic. The "ghost story" elements are not meant to terrify the audience but rather to serve as a metaphor for the past lingering in the present. When Beth meets Melissa (Ella McCready), an alluring interior designer, their connection is immediate and magnetic. The viewer feels Beth’s uncertainty and vulnerability as she tries to distinguish between her growing affection for Melissa and the strange events occurring in the house. It is a story about connection across time; it explores the idea that love and longing can leave a physical imprint on a space. Emotionally, it is a "quiet" film that leaves a lingering, wistful impact on the heart. Did you know? (Czy wiesz, że...)Jade Winters’ Signature: Like many of her other films (One More Night, The Choice), Winters focuses on the emotional internal world of her female leads, making the supernatural elements feel grounded and "human."Genre-Bending: Critics have noted that the film sits in a unique space between a "supernatural thriller" and a "gentle romance," refusing to fully commit to horror tropes in favor of exploring the characters' relationship. Indie Roots: The film was produced by Wicked Winters Films, a small production house dedicated to telling diverse stories, and it was largely supported by a loyal fanbase through independent funding. The "Slow Burn": At only 73 minutes, the film is remarkably concise, yet it is praised for its "slow burn" pacing, allowing the chemistry between Beth and Melissa to feel earned rather than rushed.
