"Doubles" Written and Directed by Jacob Motz
"Doubles" is a short film that straddles the science fiction and magical realism genres. In it, duplicates of every person on Earth start appearing after our universe begins merging with an alternative universe. In the midst of the emerging chaos, a man is presented with the opportunity to win the heart of his dream girl's doppelgänger.
What makes the whole thing work is that they film's story centers around an average schlub, not some super hero out to save the world. "Doubles" could be a run-of-the-mill office romance, except for the under lying premise. The result is a very sweet, very fun film.
The film was shot over the course of three days with a budget of $18K. Motz used the goodwill from his previous short, O.T.E, to convince a family friend to invest in Doubles’s production.
