IFFB: This odd, quick-moving, and very funny short follows a group of steam-punkish inventors who recruit a new member by smashing his laptop and encouraging him to build things from junk. When he creates a telescope that can see into the future, a round of increasingly ridiculous petty jealousies takes over. The film is bouncy, witty, whimsical, and homemade in a low-budget, thrown-together way that perfectly complements its subject.
