Festival CEO Brad Parks said, "Time Trap looks like an early Spielberg movie and takes the audience through a suspenseful and fun adventure that leaves people feeling good about the future of our world... and these innovative and exceptional young filmmakers certainly left us all feeling very inspired about the future of Hollywood." Time Trap follows a group of archaeology students searching for their professor who has disappeared while exploring a mysterious cave in rural Texas.
