Andrei Thutat Ungur wrote, directed, shot and edited this indie film. He also interpreted the main and only character. Because he needed to film himself, the camera moves in the film are limited so in order to have visual dynamics, multiple cuts and edits were used. There are two moving shots where he had to be in the frame (so he couldn't drive the camera) and for those shots, his mom stepped in and helped him by moving the tripod-mounted camera according to his instructions.
It has a run-time of 14 minutes and 58 seconds. It has a 16:9 format, shot in full HD 1080p at 24fps.
"Reboot" is an independent film, shot on a zero-budget with a Nikon D5100 DSLR and a GoPro 4. All the equipment and props are the personal property of director Andrei Thutat Ungur.
