Timeline (2015)

Timeline - 2015 - is the 2015 remake of Mike Barkhoff's 2013 film of the same name. Released in seven parts, the film extends thirty minutes, and features one of Barkhoff's first appearance as an actor in his work, as a main character.

Barkhoff portrays Harry White, a Police Detective who becomes angered by a group of street criminals who have been committing fraudulent activities, especially when he can't find them. Upon finding one of their member's journals, and then being met by a strange man who introduces him to time travel via a remote, he goes back in time to try and corrupt their first crime pulled off. Unbeknownst to him until he arrives, this crime occurs during the first date of him and his wife. Now, he must try to stop the criminals and manage to do so without interfering with a past version of himself, disarranging the timeline.

Background
After completing the 2013 version, Barkhoff was dissatisfied. Having had a low quality camera, poor budget, and unpleased with the actors and the length of the film (imaging it as a 90 minute film then editing it and realizing it was only 7 minutes, as it was his first encounter with the work), Barkhoff pondered on a remake. In 2015, he began to get serious about doing so. Gathering with friends, they decided to approach it after school. They did so, and Barkhoff released the completed 2015 remake.

Production
The film was made during the after school hours in Barkhoff's freshman year of High School using friends as actors. Barkhoff's decision to move forward the film came after a chance encounter with three actors interested in filming a 'parkour' sequence, which Barkhoff then wrote into the film. This was Barkhoff's first film to use more than one camera. A GoPro was used, as well as his flip open Samsung camcorder, all of the crew's phones for at least one scene, the school camera that he was allowed to borrow, and his first camera - which he used in the 2013 version - for a nostalgic purpose scene.

Aftermath
Barkhoff has since admitted to being unpleased with the result of this film, too, though saying it was "much closer" to his expectation. He has admitted interest in remaking it again in the future. In a 2019 installment of the Live Free Podcast, Barkhoff and Delfs discuss the opportunity of doing more, and both say they have ideas.
