Co-director, “All in the Timing” by David Ives

Leon Trotsky dies several times from a mountain-climber’s ax wound received 36 hours prior. Three chimpanzees attempt to write Hamlet. A man and a woman meet for the first time in a cafe, where they have an awkward meeting continually reset each time they say the wrong thing, until, finally, they connect.
