The premise sounds like a gimmick—a screenwriter's meta fever dream—but the fact that it's only three minutes and *actually* does something unexpected with that conceit is the kind of restraint that usually bores me; here it somehow doesn't.
A formally aware riff on the Borgesian infinite text, grounded in the contemporary anxieties of the writing process; the experimental framing serves the conceptual architecture rather than drowning it.
Three minutes to earn a narrative twist the filmmaker himself didn't see coming suggests a single structural or rhythmic choice—likely in the editing or sound design—that recontextualizes everything, and that's where this lives or dies.
