💥Directed by Darren Hinchy, “Time of Your Life” is the first place winner in AGBO’s 2023 No Sleep ‘til Film Fest global short film filmmaking competition.

🎬DIRECTOR: Darren Hinchy
🎬LOCATION: Toronto, Canada
🎬LOGLINE: College is meant to be the time of your life, but for one freshman, it's a lonely journey as her life unfolds solely on her phone screen.

⭐️DIRECTOR’S BIO⭐️
Born and raised in Ireland, Darren Hinchy grew up with a passionate love of movies that led him to move to Toronto, Canada to pursue a career in Film. He has accumulated nearly a decade of experience in the film industry, with credits ranging from music videos to Oscar winning movies and everything in between. If he is not working on a TV show or movie he is most likely to be found watching them.

⭐️DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT⭐️
When faced with the prompt of 'time,' I opted not to explore the tempting sci-fi route but instead focused on time as a universal necessity. In my movie, it is the time needed for emotional healing, forgiveness, and self-discovery. I choose to portray this through the lens of a LGBTQ+ protagonist because so often in media they are show as the people who have to wait for acceptance and I wanted to flip that script. In my movie even though her mother has moved past her own prejudices, Amy is not ready to forgive and forget. Amy holds the power and she needs time. Then as a technical execution of the prompt and my idea, I presented the story through bite sized chunks, skipping forward in time again and again.

⭐️BEHIND THE SCENES INFORMATION⭐️
There are a couple of AGBO/Russo brothers easter eggs hidden in the film. The first and most obvious is the college that Amy is attending is 'City College', the rival college from 'Community'. The second one is a bit more hidden but on the list of computers Amy is looking to buy, the computer at the very bottom is AG-80 (AGBO) with the short description being 'Everything, Everywhere'. Other info is that I have done 48 Hour challenges before (I did another one just last week) but this is the first one I have attempted solo.
