What a remarkable film! Every frame of '11 Minutes Ago' brims with plot details that make the movie more and more rewarding upon each viewing. Even after only a single viewing, I was blown away that this feature film was shot in one day. The acting shines, the story captures you, and the science fiction concept of the whole thing blows you away. A new cult classic is born!

I think one of the reasons independent films will never overtake studio films is because most independent films suck. I went into this one fully expecting such an experience. After all, this is a one-day shoot on no budget, without any name actors. To say that I was surprised is an understatement, I was shocked - this really is a good little indie! The story is tight, the camera work professional, and the acting superb, with a big nod to lead Christina Mauro, who has some more films coming soon I hope. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how the writer managed to pull off science fiction with such a budget, and pull it off terrifically, I might add. Everything that normally is a detriment to low budget films was used to great effect and incorporated seamlessly into this one. Also, I've never seen a film where the philosophical implications of time travel have been handled so deeply and subtly, big budget or no budget. Highly recommend.

a friend told me to check this out because she loved it and said it was shot in one day. needless to say i was pretty skeptical, but that allowed me to be very pleasantly surprised. it was an inventive little sci-fi flick, though it felt more romantic than anything, and the nuanced performances kept me from start to finished. what stayed with me the most was the yearning to be with someone you love, even if it seems an impossible reality. watch this one, says me.

awesome movie... comedic but a lot of depth... there's a lot of movies about time travel these days (17 Again, Benjamin Button, Time Travelers Wife, etc.), but in some ways this is the most original of them ... really good story w/ great acting. the others are much more cliched in comparison w/ this one... must see

This film blows me away for a couple of reasons. 1: It was shot entirely in one day. Actually in just 17 hours. 2: The acting and plot are both great 3: It's an independent film that successfully pulled of this one of a kind fun thoughtful easy-to-follow yet unpredictable time-travel movie. Maybe it's just me, but I haven't seen many movies that claim all three. The script is as well developed as the characters, both are a little bit quirky yet still believable. It's a real treat and it's one of those that is just as great (if not better) the second time around as well. Great for the fan of indi and mainstream films alike. Relatively recent movie, so music and backgrounds and even corporate culture is easy to identify with, as well as some deeper level of human needs that are, well, timeless.

Such a great film! I didn't know what to expect going in... I'm not really a science fiction person but based on the reviews this film has been getting, I figured I'd give it a shot. I am SO glad I did. The characters are instantly like-able - and I was completely invested in the storyline within the first 11 minutes. :)
I'm floored that this was shot in one day - SO impressed with the camera work - The acting was great! ...I loved it!
If you like sci-fi, romantic comedies, or simply great films... WATCH THIS! :)

I saw "Eleven Minutes Ago" and and was quickly drawn into the world of time travel and the alluring cast of characters. This is a romance worthy of watching to the last frame. The special effects of this movie are imbued in the relationships and the plot. Tune in if you like a bevy of sexy women and their suitors. If you are looking for a message:" Our lives are brief, be present, risk everything for love." Two thumbs up; my thumbs, not those other guys. -Greg Nystrom

This is an outstanding film. Sci-Fi films are usually quite costly to produce since it usually requires creating a world but this was beautifully worked around. The budget on this film was lower than low and the filmmakers managed to work around typical pitfalls by constructing this concept. They shot it in one location with 4 cameras and included the camera and sound crew into the script in order to work in any potential issues such as booms and camera men being seem. They managed to do this all in one day. Just outstanding!

The production value is not of a big Hollywood Studio. The actors are not big names. But when I found out about how the movie was made, I can't help but be impressed. The feature length movie was shot in ONE DAY! I heard the filmmakers talk after a screening at a film festival. I think this quote from a review I read sums it up...

"What do you get when you mix "Twelve Monkeys" with "Four Weddings and a Funeral"? If you are a director without a budget and you liked the structure of "Memento" you might end up with something like Bob Gebert's "11 Minutes Ago"

I loved this film! After seeing it I had to talk to some of the people behind it and learn more about how something like this can be pulled off. Bob Gebert, wrote, directed and appears in the film along side the producer and star Christina Mauro. Both were kind enough to talk to me about this incredible movie.
