#129 - Gateway [short] (2011)

"A non linear sci-fi thriller, gateway jumps between scenes of a smashed, bloodied lab that our protagonist wakes up to. Unsure what has happened, the smeared blood surroundings contrasts the jumps between time to the pristine and clinical whites of the lab before. 

We follow the story of a machine that could save people from death, which descends into our protagonist deliberately poisoning his assistant to test it on a human, and it works, the assistant saying he had spent years in a tranquil heaven even though only minutes had passed! 

It slowly dawns that the frantic, horrific scenes in the broken lab with a twisted and crying protagonist is in fact his own personal hell as he is testing the machine on himself - an inventive, and stark finish"
